The NHS Religion Equality Advisory Group hosted a compelling breakfast discussion that delved into promoting equality and addressing discrimination within the healthcare sector. The agenda featured an impressive lineup of experts. The event (5 July) commenced with Professor Iqbal Singh CBE, a pro-Vice Chancellor at the University of Bolton, sharing insights on inclusivity for NHS staff of faith. Dr. David Katz from the Jewish Medical Association took the stage at to shed light on advocating for faith-based equality.
