EACH Project Launch

On the 18th of October the Embedding Ambassadors in Community Health (EACH) project launch took place at Homerton College in Cambridge.

The event was extremely successful and attended by a multitude of community organisations, the NHS, Police and Local Authorities representing the needs of local minority ethnic groups, particularly focussing on Asian women.

The launch programme engaged attendees to identify and discuss health issues and barriers to healthcare for recently arrived women in the East of England, exploring existing examples of good practice and identifying areas that require development. The event stressed the importance of shaping intercultural awareness.  These and many other issues will be used to form the basis of a series of inter-cultural awareness workshops to be provided by BME organisations to local NHS frontline staff over the course of the next three years.
