NHS Newham Conference, World Class Commissioning in an Age of Migration
16 Mar 2010
The people of migrant communities in England face widespread difficulties when seeking access to health services. Newham’s population includes some of the poorest, most ethnically diverse and mobile groups in the UK. As part of the NHS Pacesetter
programme to promote equality, we have been working with local migrant communities to identify and overcome barriers to health services. This conference, sponsored by NHS Newham, will: examine the barriers to health services experienced by migrant communities; consider the commissioning skills needed to support diverse and mobile populations; assess the costs, benefits and risks of restricting migrant people’s access to NHS services. The following have been invited to speak at the conference: Joan Sadler OBE (DoH); David Stout (NHS Confederation), Shami Chakrabhatti (Liberty), Professor Richard Wilkinson (Equality Trust), Edwin Borman (BMA Council). Workshops and seminars will be led by Medécins du Monde (UK), Migrants’ Rights Network, British Medical Association, TUC, and Londonwide LMCs. A new production by the award-winning playwright Peter Cox will also be presented.
