Check out the latest edition of our podcast ‘Treating You’, where, in a special episode to mark Black History Month, Dr Vanessa Apea and Roxy Murray, a patient advocate, discuss the importance of inclusion and representation in research.

They discuss some of the reasons people from Black communities may be hesitant to take part in research, the barriers that stop people from getting involved and sharing some of the work Barts Health is doing to support more people from Black communities to take part.
