Developing an inclusive health and care research system: a realist evaluation of participation in health research with people from Black African Diaspora Communities, in the UK.

Co-design, poetry and more! Take a look at how we have worked together on this research project, through co-production, to understand, explain and consider what is needed for a more inclusive health and care research system for people from Black African Diaspora Communities in the UK.

On March 6th, we held a hybrid dissemination event at Coventry cathedral where we shared key insights from this research project. Poet and playwright, Roy McFarlane (national canal laureate) shared his poem based upon the findings of this research. The co-production group also shared their experiences of being part of this research. Images below were taken at the event.
