The award-winning Shuri Network is the first NHS and care network of BAME women in digital health. In this fortnightly podcast series we aim to demystify what digital health is all about, and also to bring you insights into how some of our inspirational female BAME leaders and allies have got to where they are.

Welcome to Series 2, Episode 9 of the Shuri Network podcast. Today we’re joined by Professor Bola Owolabi who shares her journey to advocating for those experiencing significantly poorer health outcomes compared with the general population, grounded in her work as a GP in Derbyshire. We hear about how to advance the causes you care about whilst rolling with resistance you might come across, the importance of digital inclusion by design, and recognising the role that we as individuals can play in advocating for those most disadvantaged. You can also learn more about the Core20Plus5 here, the book Relational Change by Liz Wiggins, and the NHS England Health Inequalities hub. Enjoy the episode, and let us know what you think!
