Excellent, troubling new analyses led by @Ladyroho @bengoldacre et al. Nice linked editorial by @AliRacaniere thelancet.com/journals/lance…. In pandemic wave 2, South Asians had even higher rates of infection, admission, mortality. Structural inequalities. thelancet.com/journals/lance…
Ethnic minority groups are the solution not the problem. Here is our latest #covid19 community observations with @drshujashafi @AliZumla @ChantalEdge @RoyalSurrey @NIHRresearch @NHSEngland @NHSDigital @PHE_uk @cabinetofficeuk @UKRI_News sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

Post-COVID syndrome after hospitalization-our latest work led by @dayoubkhani @Vnafilyan @ben_humberstone @kamleshkhunti. 47,780 individuals with matched controls. Mean age 65 years, 55% male. 140 days mean follow-up. (1/4) medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
We can build on our developing links with the community. Learning invaluable lessons from our community and faith settings shows we can significantly improve uptake of hepatitis testing in high risk groups which we can easily translate to COVID-19 testing and vaccination uptake.
This quoted post is unavailable.
Our @NIHRresearch supported work demonstrates engagement of ethnic minority communities is critical in building trust and improving health outcomes.
A model which can be upscaled to the national #COVID19 vaccination programme.
