Hi everyone
Hoping people in this group will enjoy this film. We were invited to run a Whose Shoes #coproduction workshop in support of the *HEARD campaign – Health Equity and Racial Disparity in Maternity and there are a lot of ripples coming from it in terms of new connections and actions!
A very important and sensitive topic so it was wonderful to be able to bring everyone together for a very informal, relaxed workshop in a community setting. Women and families from Croydon talking to healthcare professionals, as equals, about what makes a difference in maternity care, and raising awareness of some of the issues faced by people from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic communities.

Every ‘Whose Shoes’ event is different but the overall aims will be the same
bringing everyone together – #NoHierarchyJustPeople – and ensuring everyone feels HEARD – and that some real action will come from it.

Working TOGETHER’ for positive change.

The film includes the fabulous introduction by Professor Jacqueline Dunkley-Bent, Chief Midwifery Officer for England, who is always so supportive of our work, and she helped set the scene for the event perfectly.

And a shoutout to Darzi fellow, Rosie Murphy, for pulling this together with love and passion for equity, and building relationships with the local community to make this happen in record time. Huge thanks to the Croydon BME Forum and the Asian Resource Centre, Croydon for engaging so strongly and your
commitment to support women and families – and for your wonderful hospitality. The pizza was AMAZING! 🙂 https://youtu.be/rlfwwT0dvUg
