This episode brings together two influential voices who are reshaping what equitable and compassionate healthcare looks like in Birmingham.

Olaunde Awe, Managing Director of Ilera Health, and Dr Tonye Sikabofori, Deputy Chief Medical Officer, join Rebbecca Hemmings to explore the realities of building antiracist health systems from both community and clinical perspectives.

Together they speak candidly about the gaps that persist in health outcomes, the structural issues that drive mistrust, and the transformative work happening across the city to ensure Black communities are seen, heard, and cared for with dignity.

This episode is an invitation to hear from those driving change on the ground and within senior leadership. It is thoughtful, energising, and essential listening for anyone committed to compassionate, equitable care.

Talking about racism can seem difficult and uncomfortable. This CPD accredited course provides a foundational education on racism to help to increase racial literacy which includes building confidence to speak about and deal with issues concerning race. It provides a language through which meaningful conversation can take place (particularly in the workplace).
