About the project

This resource was developed as part of a project commissioned by NHS Race and Health Observatory and NHS England in 2024.

The project aimed to map existing curricula and learning initiatives that addressed racialised health inequalities across healthcare and other relevant sectors by completing a scoping review of the literature and provide illustrative examples that capture the complexities of practice and the practical realities of developing and implementing education interventions that aim to address racialised health inequalities.

This resource is one of the outcomes of the project.

The project was led by Canterbury Christ Church University with collaboration from other Higher Education Institutions, Healthcare Providers, Independent Educators and Researchers, and Melanin Medics, a UK-based registered charity promoting diversity in Medicine for African and Caribbean students and doctors.
