APOLOGIES FOR CROSS-POSTING

The Race Equality Foundation is a national charity which promotes race equality and helps to overcome barriers by exploring discrimination and disadvantage.   We are currently commissioning evidence-based briefing papers for Better Health, a project which examines race equality in health.   

The papers are usually around 8 pages long (including bibliography), and although they focus on a variety of different issues and ethnic groups, overarching themes include:

·         the obstacles to the participation and engagement of black and minority ethnic service users in health services, such as segregation, dispersal or language

·         the limitations which exist in the provision of culturally, ethnically and linguistically appropriate services, especially for service users who may be in rural areas/present a significant minority

·         the impact of personal or institutional racism upon black and minority ethnic  service users and staff

·         the intersections between age, disability, gender, faith, poverty and ethnicity

·         best practice examples to tackle discrimination and disadvantage

In particular, we are currently seeking authors for papers on the following themes:

·        the financial cost of poor housing to the health service

·        successful initiatives to improve health through improvements in housing

·        how to ensure that IAPT reaches black and minority ethnic communities

·        maternal mental health provision for black and minority ethnic communities

·        equalities and reducing health inequalities

·        how to ensure that personalisation improves experiences and outcomes for black and minority ethnic communities/excluded groups

·        the incidence and prevalence of dementia amongst black and minority ethnic communities (including examples of better practice in improving experience of services and support)

·        effective use of the NHS Constitution

If you are interested in producing a paper, please send us with a short blurb or 4-5 bullet points to outline the content/structure of the paper.

If you like to see other examples of briefings in the Better Health collection, please visit the site.

If you’d like to know more about the project or register for our monthly newsletter, do please get in touch.
