NHS Race and Health Observatory
Investigating the impact of race and ethnicity on people’s health.
Hosted by The NHS Alliance and supported by NHS England, the NHS Race and Health Observatory works to identify and tackle ethnic inequalities in health and care. It does this by facilitating research, making health policy recommendations and enabling long-term transformational change.
The observatory works with experts from the UK and internationally to offer analysis and policy recommendations to improve health outcomes for NHS patients, communities and staff.
