About this Event
CALLING BLACK COMMUNITIES IN LAMBETH!
What is it about?
The Patient and Carer Race Equality Framework (PCREF) is a new way of working which brings together Black communities, Black service users and their carers with SLaM staff. Together we will re-imagine mental health services to achieve anti-racism and equity for Black citizens.
Data shows that diverse communities have poorer Access, Experience and Outcomes (AEO) in mental health services – this is true of SLaM and national data. In this first iteration of PCREF, we are focusing on improving AEO for Black African, Black Caribbean and Black Other (including Mixed) communities. This is because SLaM data shows that these groups are most disadvantaged in our care.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How do I get the links to join?
Once you have registered for this event, we will send you an email with the link to join this event. Please keep a note of the dates and times in your diary for now, and we will be in contact when registration is closed
I have some access needs, who do I tell?
We want to encourage everyone that is interested in this work to join us. Please contact us directly to discuss how we can support you to join in: PCREFapproach@slam.nhs.uk
I cant make all the event dates, should I still register?
We ask that you attend Part 1: Fit for Partnership event, to be invited to join the PCREF Borough event. This is because they are closely linked and missing the first one would mean you would have missed all of the preparatory work for the second.
I have another question and want to register, who can I talk to?
Please contact the PCREF team via email: PCREFapproach@slam.nhs.uk
