Introduction• Research addressing inequalities has
focused predominantly on primary care; less so on prehospital care.
• Variable uptake and use of health services by minority ethnic groups.
• Systematic review to identify barriers or facilitators experienced by minority ethnic patients in accessing pre-hospital care.
• Exploring and understanding the barriers and facilitators to delivering high quality ambulance service care to patients from minority ethnic communities; and
• Exploring the causes and consequences of those differences in delivery to minority ethnic groups.
Conclusion • Clear evidence that some minority ethnic groups
more disadvantaged than others.• Disparities in ethnic health outcomes.• Limited availability and application of ethnicity
data underestimates scale of the problem for service providers.
• Further studies to investigate UK differences in prehospital care and outcomes for minority ethnic groups, followed by qualitative approaches to understand barriers and enablers to equitable access.
Diversity is critical to innovation and change“The most basic not-so-secret formula for building an innovation culture is pretty simple – embrace diversity and start to attract, retain and promote a diverse workforce that looks differently, works differently, dress differently, speaks differently and is inclusive of the full spectrum of human sexual orientation and gender identities. Do this before you start hiring consultants and re-thinking your innovation process, there is no process that works without true diversity.” Idris Moore
