Today, we launch a co-produced resource to help parents spot signs of jaundice in babies with dark skin tones. It will be shared with every maternity & neonatal service across the country and across primary care.
You can download it here: nhsrho.org/resources/a-paren…

REPORT: The impact of racial discrimination on mental health
📌 'dose-response' relationship
📌 impact is cumulative, recency counts
📌 impact is direct & indirect (racism -> poorer housing -> worse mental health)

The increase in ethnic minority doctors bodes well for patient outcomes, but these doctors are less likely to be promoted, more likely to face disciplinary action, and more likely to report bullying. Diversity is not always a precursor to inclusion: theguardian.com/society/2025…

Today’s news about racial inequities in the strip-searching of children is highly distressing.
Every child deserves to feel safe. But these practices risk traumatising children and exacerbating racial inequalities in mental health.
Black children in England and Wales four times more likely to be strip-searched, figures show dlvr.it/TC4Zdz
