Giving voice to BAME staff in health and social care

 Giving voice to the lived experiences of Black, Asian and minority ethnic staff working in health and social care in BLMK progression

• Equality and diversity
• Workforce capacity

The number of Black, Asian, and other ethnic minority employees in senior band 8 and higher jobs appears to be declining. By using "homegrown" staff, the NHS was able to improve patient satisfaction and health outcomes. To better understand the barriers and enablers to career advancement, integrated care, and a diverse workforce in the health and social care sectors, this study will look at these issues. Additionally, using an oral history method, the study will record the career histories of social workers employed at BLMK and members of the NHS.

• To contribute to meeting the demand for an inclusive and integrated health and social care workforce.
