Race Equality Foundation - Improving health services for black and minority ethnic communities
This programme of work aims to develop a national resource to help improve the quality of health and housing provision to black and minority ethnic communities This is being achieved through a series of conferences, seminars and workshops to help embed the evidence and promote good race equality practice in order to encourage and facilitate change in practice and service provision.
Central to this work is a collection of Better Health briefing papers containing research evidence, good practice tips, resources, and key messages for practice on a range of topics for housing and health practitioners.
