  • DEI implications on health access

    In this podcast, Dr Luke James discusses the impact of DEI on peoples’ access to healthcare, with Lucy Brown, Senior Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Consultant at Mercer. During this episode, we discuss how the experience of healthcare varies based on demographics such as access to resources, systemic bias, and location.
