MPHI’s Post

Today I had the privilege of participating in a thought-provoking webinar that explored the intersection of research, healthcare and diversity. The webinar was facilitated by Andre Tulloch, a NIHR (National Institute for Health and Care Research) public contributor. Some key takeaways include: · Representation: Meaningful conversations about lived experiences within diverse communities are essential to understanding and addressing mental health disparities. · Cultural Inclusivity: Recognizing our lack of education on cultural inclusivity is the first step. How can we authentically engage with minority communities and ensure transparent involvement strategies? · Funding: Is sufficient funding allocated to public involvement and network building? Addressing race inequalities in research can pave the way for tackling other areas of disparity. · Our Responsibility: Researchers have individual responsibilities. Let's explore deploying our influence for a more powerful, inclusive framework.

So important and not discussed enough.

The Health Policy Institute of Ohio (HPIO) and Amy Rohling McGee are a gem! Have you read their latest Equity Evaluation Toolkit? “This toolkit is designed to provide partners with information about how to use evaluation to move towards equity. Each section covers a different element of evaluation, including information on how to tie evaluation into every step of assessment, planning, implementation and continuous quality improvement processes. The toolkit includes guidance, tools and resources on: - Setting the stage for evaluation through assessment and planning - Equitable approaches to evaluation - Developing an equitable evaluation plan - Using evaluation results for continuous quality improvement - Collecting data for evaluation” You can download the toolkit, receive additional resources, and learn more about all of the amazing work HPIO is doing here: https://lnkd.in/gjNU3NGn Humana Healthy Horizons in Ohio is also a sponsor for the educational series (https://lnkd.in/gkPHjytp) and we have the honor of serving on the Advisory Committees.  #healthequity #healthequitynow

Hello everyone. I hope your 2024 is going well. It's unusual for this to be my first post of the year but I have been working behind the scenes, learning, unlearning, relearning and incubating all to ensure that I give my best . Not based on any notion of perfection but on doing better when I know better. It was a privilege to attend the launch of the Voices Of Experts In Our Midst by Tropical Health and Education Trust (THET) at the Sennedd yesterday. Listening to the stories of healthcare professionals working so hard in the UK yet sharing their expertise globally so generously - I was inspired beyond words. It was lovely to make new connections and discover new ways to collaborate. The overarching message echoes one of the things I'm passionate about - equity is everyone's business. With respect to health, Covid-19 showed us clearly that inequitable outcomes adversely affect the economy as a whole. This year, I am committed to doing my best to make equity work for everyone. Whether through research advice, teaching, patient advocacy or creating bespoke training content - I want to support organisations who are truly committed to diversity and inclusion. It is time to move beyond rhetoric and take action one small step at a time. That how history is made and I will play my part.
