In the episode we’ll hear about the evidence for Communities of Practice, what it takes to translate words into action, and how you don’t have to have all the answers to be a change-maker.

    Principle 10 - Equitable health and wellbeing outcomes for underserved communities

    This is the final deep dive into our principles, focusing on principle 10 and the whole mission of the Equity Charter - “Equitable health and wellbeing outcomes for underserved communities”. We are joined by Rachel Power, CEO of The Patients Association, and Professor Partha Kar, Type I Diabetes and Technology Lead at NHS England. In this conversation you’ll hear about the danger of assuming that minoritised communities don’t want to engage, or that older people are not digitally skilled. We also talk about the nuanced approach needed when working with carers, and finally some practical nuggets of wisdom around communication channels for engagement.

    Principle 9 - Equity in the use of data and design of algorithms

    Welcome to this week’s episode of the podcast, where we examine not just the pitfalls but also the potential of data in the realm of health equity. Our experts this week are Maxine Mackintosh - data guru and Co-Director of  One HealthTech and leading light  Rony Arafin,  Director of Insights at the British Heart Foundation, Deputy Chair of the NHS Chief Data & Analytics Officers Network and former CEO of the Association of Professional Healthcare Analysts. In this thought-provoking conversation we discuss the real-world impact of inequity in the data world, why disaggregating data by ethnicity isn’t necessarily all it’s cracked up to be, and also how AI can help us uncover inequity, rather than exacerbating it. As you would expect, we have a whole host of resources below mentioned by our data-driven experts to supplement the discussion: Health Equity Assessment Toolkit  The Data Observatory  Data Science for Health Equity  Inequity in cardiovascular health  Hidden in Plain Sight — Reconsidering the Use of Race Correction in Clinical Algorithms  Research funding bias Racial bias in genomics  NHS Chief Data and Analytical Officer Network  Don’t forget to rate, review and subscribe, and let us know what you think of the show!
