Welcome to the National B.A.M.E Health & Care Awards’ B.I.D.E (Belonging, Inclusion, diversity and Equity) Workforce Summit, a dynamic half-day event on September 25th in Central London, UK.

Trust is the foundation of quality healthcare, yet for many historically marginalised communities, it remains fragile.

This year’s theme, “Dismantling Barriers, Rebuilding Trust: The Future of Inclusive Healthcare,” focuses on:

✅ Breaking down systemic barriers that hinder equitable healthcare access.

✅ Enhancing institutional accountability to foster inclusivity at all levels.

✅ Developing patient-centred solutions that build trust and improve health outcomes.
