Engaging in a dialogue with the Luton Roma community on access to healthcare services and co-producing solutions
Background: Luton, a super-diverse town in the East of England, is home to one of the largest Roma populations in the UK. Roma communities experience significant health inequalities, particularly in accessing healthcare services, contributing to poorer health outcomes. However, there is limited research on effective ways to engage Roma communities and address these disparities. This study aimed to explore the views of the Luton Roma community on …
Challenges and enablers of collaborative working in the voluntary, community, social, faith and enterprise sector
Introduction: Voluntary, Community, Social, and Faith Enterprise (VCSFE) organisations play a vital role in supporting local health and care needs, particularly among underserved communities. However, they can often operate in isolation, making it difficult for vulnerable populations to access coordinated support. Luton Public Health led a pilot called the Collaboration Fund that encouraged joint working among selected VCSFE organisations, delive…

Establishing sustainable partnerships to reduce health disparities by promoting partnership working
Background: In the UK, individuals from ethnic minority backgrounds faced disproportionate impacts during and after the COVID-19 pandemic. Luton, the first designated Marmot Town in England, stands as one of the most super-diverse and socially deprived regions, significantly affected by the pandemic. To address these disparities, Luton Borough Council and the Bedfordshire & Luton Community Foundation funded the Voluntary, Community, and Social En…
An Integrated Care Curriculum Framework
Background: The formal implementation of Integrated Care Systems in England from July 2022 offered various opportunities for enhancement of life outcomes for underserved groups, including addressing health and social inequality and personalisation of care. To harness these improvements, the future health and social care professional workforce, trained within university pre-registration courses, require specific educational interventions around in…
Fair and equitable health and social care in Integrated Care Systems
Background: The intersection of an ageing population, socioeconomic deprivation, and debilitated health and social care services leaves care provision in England in need of drastic transformation. Integrated Care Systems in England provide interventions for communities that are superdiverse, with new patterns of inequality and segregation influencing health policy and fiscal strategy. Despite record advances in care ingenuity and radical treatmen…
Interventions supporting people from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic groups in the United Kingdom with musculoskeletal disorders
Background: Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) significantly impact quality of life, particularly among Black, Asian, and Minority Ethnic communities in the UK, who face disproportionate burdens and barriers to care. Despite growing recognition of ethnic health disparities, there is limited understanding of interventions tailored to these populations. This scoping review aimed to map the existing literature on interventions for MSDs among Black, As…
Supporting Health and Social Care Students Stay and Stay Well
Integrated care demands a workforce that is confident, capable and compassionate. This is dependent on a willingness to work inter-professionally and understand the roles, standards and values of other professional groups. However, there are few examples of integrated care initiatives within higher education that aim to build the knowledge and skills required to support effective integrated, people-centred care. While satisfying, working in the h…
Exploring socio-ecological factors that influence the use of urban greenspace
Urban greenspaces are considered an important health asset associated with improved population health and well-being. However, inequalities in access to and use of the outdoors continue to exist, particularly among low-income and minority ethnic populations. Following a socio-ecological approach, this study aimed to investigate the individual, interpersonal, and environmental factors that influence the use of greenspaces among an ethnically diver…
Community readiness to address disparities in access to cancer, palliative and end-of-life care for ethnic minorities
The Community Readiness Model provides an insight into the community's position regarding disparities in access to cancer, palliative and end-of-life services. In order to ensure that continuing efforts are successful in addressing existing inequalities rather than exacerbating them, this study emphasises how critical it is to evaluate the readiness of the community in order to avoid widening inequalities in access and use of services
Knowledge, perceived risk, and attitudes towards Covid-19 protective measures amongst ethnic minorities in the UK
Background Minority ethnic groups are at increased risk of COVID-19 related mortality or morbidity yet continue to have a disproportionally lower uptake of the vaccine. The importance of adherence to prevention and control measures to keep vulnerable populations and their families safe therefore remains crucial. This research sought to examine the knowledge, perceived risk, and attitudes toward COVID-19 among an ethnically diverse community. Meth…
Mental health experiences and coping strategies of Bame care workers who worked in nursing and residential care homes during the Covid-19 pandemic in Luton, England
Issues such as increased workload associated with COVID-19 restrictions engendered mental health problems among BAME care workers, however, the workload only further increased during the pandemic, but the health and social care sector was already affected by heavy workload due to staff shortages and this needs to be addressed through increasing their wages to encourage more people to work in the health and social care sector. In addition, some BA…

Parents’ experiences of complementary feeding among a United Kingdom culturally diverse and deprived community
Complementary feeding practices and adherence to health recommendations are influenced by a range of different and often interrelating factors such as socio-economic and cultural factors. However, the factors underlying these associations are often complex with less awareness of how complementary feeding approaches vary across the UK's diverse population. This paper describes a qualitative investigation undertaken in a deprived and culturally div…
A comparison of antenatal classifications of ‘overweight’ and ‘obesity’ prevalence between white British, Indian, Pakistani and Bangladeshi pregnant women in England; analysis of retrospective data
There are differences in the prevalence of obese and overweight women stratified by maternal ethnicity of white British, Indian, Pakistani and Bangladeshi. Using revised anthropometric measures in Indian, Pakistani and Bangladeshi women has clinical implications for identifying risks associated with obesity and increased complications in pregnancy
Pakistani young people’s views on barriers to accessing mental health services
There is extensive literature acknowledging inequalities in health, particularly mental health services for adults, children and young people from Black and minority ethnic communities in the UK. However, there is little existing evidence on UK Pakistani young people’s views of mental health and mental health services. Four focus-group discussions were carried out (n = 33 participants) at local schools, madrasas and a youth group; and data analys…
UK Pakistani views on the adverse health risks associated with consanguineous marriages
Faulty genes
Purpose This paper seeks to discuss the attitudes and beliefs of the Pakistani/Kashmiri community in Birmingham towards the cultural practice of consanguineous (cousin) marriage and health, and how an understanding of Pakistani/Kashmiri community views may help institute good practice for health care professionals. Design/methodology/approach A qualitative research study using eight gender‐ and age‐specific focus group discussions and eight in‐de…
The making of Kashmiri identity
Much attention has been paid to the way in which national identities have been articulated as part of major political projects. Most writings on nationalism fall within the primordialist or constructionist camps. In this paper I will show how primordialism and constructionism work in Kashmiri nationalism. I will examine this by displaying the various means by which the notion of Kashmiriyat has been articulated, disseminated and maintained among …
The Role of Culture in the General Practice Consultation Process
In this paper, we will examine the importance of culture and ethnicity in the general practice consultation process. Good communication is associated with positive health outcomes. We will, by presenting qualitative material from an empirical study, examine the way in which communication within the context of a general practitioner (GP) consultation may be affected by ethnicity and cultural factors. The aim of the study was to provide a detailed …
Diaspora and nation
The idea of the nation-state continues to dominate the way in which political collective identities are conceptualised in South Asia. One of the challenges the nation-state faces is the situation in which large sections of its population are located outside state boundaries. This paper reflects on the way in which the displacement of peoples can lead to the displacement of a conventional understanding of the nation-state as combining the idea of …
Kashmiri Nationalism Beyond the Nation-State
Fifty years on the Kashmir conflict rumbles on. The various parties to the dispute engage in highly polemical exchanges in a variety of media, artillery shells cross the line of control and the region remains a potential nuclear flashpaint. Given the geopolitical aspects of the conflict, it is not surprising that the Kashmiri dispute continues to be studied primarily in terms of relations between India and Pakistan, or as a threat to regional sta…
