NHS ConfedExpo 2025: Tackling the health inequalities of minoritised ethnic people with a learning disability
2025-06-12 13:30 - 14:30 (Europe/London)
Black, Asian, and minoritised ethnic people with a learning disability are dying younger than their white counterparts, and discrimination and poor healthcare access are part of the reason. ‘We Deserve Better’ (Race Health Observatory, 2023) found that low take-up of Annual Health Checks (AHCs) is a key factor behind these shocking inequalities.
Join us for an interactive session where lived experience meets practical action:

Sam Clark will facilitate a powerful conversation with Nicholas Garvey and Ramandeep Kaur, sharing first-hand barriers to healthcare.
Habib Naqvi will present the wider evidence on disparities, linking stories to data.
Jahan Foster Zabit will lead a co-production workshop, exploring real-world solutions.
We’ll close with a collaborative commitment pledge, inviting everyone to act.

Why attend?

Recognise the life-saving impact of Annual Health Checks (AHCs) – Understand how AHCs help detect health issues early, improve outcomes, and reduce premature deaths among Black, Asian, and minoritised ethnic people with a learning disability.
Learn practical, evidence-based strategies – Explore targeted outreach methods, culturally appropriate communication tools, and reasonable adjustments that can boost AHC uptake and engagement.
Examine successful case studies – Hear about innovative local projects (e.g., Nottingham, Grace Eyre, Gateshead) that have improved AHC attendance and reduced health inequalities and take ideas you can apply in your own practice.

Who is this for?
Health and care professionals, commissioners, policymakers, and community leaders working to tackle health inequalities, particularly those involved in learning disability care, racial equity, and Core20PLUS5 initiatives.
Be part of the change.
This session offers more than insight, it’s a call to action. Join us to deepen your understanding, hear powerful lived experiences, and leave with practical steps to tackle inequalities in your work and community.

Developing anti-racist Good Home Hubs: from access to outcomes
2025-10-15 11:00 - 12:00
Join us for the launch of our new research to uncover fresh insights into how home improvement services can become more accessible, fair, and effective for racially marginalised communities — and explore the practical steps we can all take to turn evidence into action.
People from racially marginalised backgrounds are more likely to live in a poor-quality home and less likely to be able to access home improvement support. That is why the Centre for Ageing Better launched a research project with the Race Equality Foundation earlier this year to ensure that support for home improvement was made inclusive and anti-racist.
Grounded in an extensive literature and the experiences of older racially marginalised communities across the country, the research provides key insights and recommendations for meaningful change.
In this focused one-hour session, we’ll walk you through the evidence and solutions uncovered in our research.

Speakers

Millie Brown, Deputy Director of Homes, Centre for Ageing Better
Nazia Azad, Programme Manager, Centre for Ageing Better
Jabeer Butt OBE, Chief Executive, Race Equality Foundation
Dr Jahan Foster Zabit, Head of Research, Race Equality Foundation
