Black Women's Health and Wellbeing Research Network

Description

The Black Women’s Health and Wellbeing Network was established in June 2011, following a conference held at The Open University on 29th June 2011. The conference focused on the health of African-Caribbean women, as although there has been an increase in the research on Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic Communities in the UK, African-Caribbean women are often absent from this research and their health is often ignored by researchers and policy makers. The conference brought together this disparate group of researchers and it was decided during the conference to provide a network for such researchers to meet and exchange knowledge and ideas.

The Black Women’s Health and Wellbeing Research Network has held annual seminars which have attracted participants from health, local authority and the voluntary sector.
