Race Equality Foundation: How can we improve the recording of ethnicity in health settings?

Race Equality Foundation are holding a webinar on Tuesday 31st January at 10am to discuss how can we improve the recording of ethnicity in health settings.

Incomplete or inaccurate recording of ethnicity will undermine attempts to address health inequalities and improve access, experience and outcomes for Black, Asian and minority ethnic communities.

The Race Equality Foundation carried out research to find out Black, Asian and minority ethnic people’s experience of providing ethnicity data and how health and care staff record this information.

At the webinar:

• You will hear key messages from the research about the recording of ethnicity
• Hear examples of better practice in recording ethnicity data
• Suggestions of how to improve the recording of ethnicity in healthcare datasets.

The webinar will be an opportunity to contribute to a discussion on the collection and use of ethnicity data to address health inequalities.
