The Motherhood Group presents Black Maternal Health Conference UK, spotlighting bridging the gap between Community, Service providers and Industries.
This interactive event will support in rebuilding the trust between the community and service providers, exploring the role of systemic racism, human rights and structural change, and how to effectively engage with Black mothers. Discussing barriers, de-stigmatising mental health, highlighting what unconscious bias looks like in maternity care, how this impacts mothers, and addressing inequalities affecting ethnic minority women in pregnancy care – access and effective intervention.
We will be highlighting the gaps within the system and disparities – but providing nuance and further reiterating the importance of Black women receiving health care that is respectful, culturally competent, safe and of the highest quality.
Putting the voices of lived- experience to the forefront, through engaging discussions, informative presentations , interactive sessions and a space for applied learning. We have powerful and reputable voices within the sector contributing to the day which will support in improving Black women’s health outcomes.
