A Conversation About ‘Wellbeing’ BAME Communities – Arabic and Urdu Women

Summary

The findings from these consultations have since been fed back to the ICS, so that the intelligence can help shape the way health and care services are delivered across the region, ensuring they are relevant to their local communities.

Aligning with our local priorities and our previous consultation work for the NHS long term plan, the ICS required us to gather the views of Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) communities. We were able to speak to twelve women at Nur Fitness. Due to probable language barriers between the group and ourselves, we ensured we had translators there on the day (who the group were familiar with) so that no one would be excluded from the discussion and so everyone could be confident in sharing their views.
