Sixty attendees, including staff, service users, and carers, gathered to discuss the Patient and Carer Race Equality Framework (PCREF) and explore how it is shaping the future of equitable care.
The event featured engaging discussions, collaborative workshops, and presentations showcasing best practices and innovative approaches to race equality within healthcare. Attendees shared valuable insights on their experiences, contributions, and the ongoing impact of PCREF on service delivery and support for all communities.
Head of Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion and PCREF Strategy Lead, Juliana Ansah, said, "It was an inspiring day that reinforced how PCREF is not just a framework, but a movement towards meaningful, lasting change in race equity within healthcare."
One service user shared a powerful poem about her experience with PCREF, adding a personal and moving perspective to the discussions.
This event is part of an ongoing series focused on strengthening race equality and ensuring a supportive environment for all within the NHS.
