COVID-19 Series: BAME patients and COVID-19 Episode 15

Register to join Episode 15 'BAME patients and COVID-19' on Zoom here.

As the coronavirus pandemic has progressed, evidence has emerged that black, Asian and minority ethnic patients are being disproportionately affected by COVID-19.

In this webinar, RSM Trustee Dr Sarah Filson will lead a discussion on why this is happening with Dame Donna Kinnair, Chief Executive and General Secretary of the Royal College of Nursing and Professor Kevin Fenton, Regional Director, PHE London and Regional Director of Public Health, NHS London.

They will discuss the current available evidence, the new government inquiry led by Professor Fenton, the effect on the multidisciplinary team, and what needs to be done to better address the risk to patients and staff.
