Healthwatch Greenwich held an online listening event with BAME service users, organisations representing BAME communities and providers of local health and care services, In light of the known impact of Covid-19 on BAME communities and in solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement.
In four breakout groups, (health inequalities, access to services, community resilience, mental health) BAME residents and community organisations shared their experiences of racism, their experience during Covid-19, and their experience of seeking support, accessing, and using health and care services. BAME residents and community organisations told Healthwatch about the changes they want to see to address racial and health inequality and ensure health and care services are equitable.
Healthwatch Greenwich have passed on the feedback to service providers and intend to hold a follow up event in November 2020.
