A one day conference dedicated to advancing racial equity across the NHS and wider health and care landscape.
The conference’s theme reflects our shared regional ambition to build a system where fairness, dignity, and inclusion are non-negotiable – and where racially equitable care is consistently delivered through courageous leadership, structural reform, and authentic partnerships with communities.
The event will bring together leaders, partners, and community voices from across the region.
Learning objectives
By the end of the conference, participants will:
- Understand and address the systemic drivers of racial inequalities in health and care.
- Apply evidence-based, anti-racist approaches to embed racial equity in health improvement.

- Understand the benefit of and how to build and sustain authentic partnerships with communities.
The conference is a proud collaboration between NHS England North West, NHS North West Race Equity Assembly (formerly NW BAME Assembly), NHS North West Leadership Academy, North West ADASS, Greater Manchester Integrated Care Partnership, Manchester City Council, and the North West Anti-Racism Public Health Collaborative, with the event hosted by BRAP.
