    What Lived Experience Tells Us About the Ethnicity Pay and Progression Gap

    Dr Guddi Singh sits down with Professor Doyin Atewologun, chief executive and founder of Delta, and Dr Nabeela Kajee, a medical doctor and consultant at the organisation, to explore their work on the ethnicity pay and progression gap in the NHS.  Grounded in lived experience, the conversation gives voice to the realities faced by ethnic minority staff. Together they examine how structural barriers, organisational culture, and everyday workforce decisions shape pay outcomes and career progression over time.   The episode explores what the gap feels like, how it impacts confidence and opportunity, and the disconnect that can exist between leadership listening and leadership acting, asking what it truly means to value lived experience in efforts to drive change.
