I'm Koli Begum, Minority Ethnic Health Development Worker at VODA. I am working with Minority Ethnic communities across North Tyneside to understand health inequalities and barriers to accessing services.
If you are a health service provider and are interested in discussing these issues further, please get in touch.
Minority Ethnic Communities
I am keen to connect with local Minority Ethnic communities, to find out more about lived experience of health services in the area. Building on what I learn, I will be working with public health and other health and wellbeing professionals to co-produce and co-design services for residents.
If you are part of a Minority Ethnic community and would like to share your experiences, please let me know.
Health Professionals
I will be working with health service providers such as GPs, to see how they engage with minority ethnic communities, as well as identifying what training might be beneficial to support the wider workforce to engage more confidently and effectively with minority ethnic communities.
