Bridging the Gap: Addressing Neonatal Health Inequalities in Black Communities

30 October 2025 9:30am – 4:30pmGMT (+00:00)
Virtual (Microsoft Teams)

As part of Black History Month celebrations, we are excited to host a dedicated online conference focused on tackling neonatal health inequalities affecting black communities.

Black babies in the UK are significantly more likely to be born preterm and face higher rates of neonatal mortality. While these disparities are not caused by biology, they represent a powerful opportunity to create lasting change by advancing equity in care, access and outcomes for black families.

This inspiring and solution-focused event brings together clinicians, researchers, commissioners, parents and community advocates to 

 

🔹 Share the latest data on neonatal disparities

🔹 Amplify community voices and lived experiences

🔹 Explore evidence-based, culturally responsive interventions

🔹 Drive collaborative strategies to deliver equitable neonatal care. Mark your calendar and be part of the movement from awareness to action, ensuring that every baby enters the world with the best possible start.
