BME Engagement Health Group

The group addresses the black and minority ethnic residents at risk of, or with, heart disease, stroke and cancer to facilitate the formation of associated health Support & Advisory and Self-Help Groups in the future.

This Group will provide health information at meetings, create a space for attendees to share experiences and gain support from others in similar situation as themselves, and facilitate opportunities for people to meet with health professionals.  Speakers would also be invited to meetings to raise awareness of heart disease, stroke and cancer services, and the causes, signs, symptoms and prevention.
