London inspire Programme (LiP) is a ground-breaking programme which was specifically developed to raise awareness and promote targeted health interventions aimed at reducing disparities faced by Black people in London. This involves working closely with Black Caribbean & African leaders and health professionals, to explore an asset-based approach to mobilising the community and improve health outcomes.
This event will be an opportunity to bring together key stakeholders to explore community-based approaches and how health systems could collaborate to create sustained health improvement. The event will celebrate what is working well, share learning, and create opportunities for reflection resulting in a call to action and inclusive leadership to improving the health of Black Londoners.
The Summit will feature speakers renowned for their contributions to health equity and advocates with expertise in addressing health disparities within Black communities. A special focus will be given to voices from the Black Caribbean and African community, healthcare professionals, community leaders, researchers, and lived experiences. This diversity of perspectives aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the challenges and opportunities to reducing health inequalities at system and community levels.
Confirmed keynote speakers include:

Despite being one of the largest economies, the UK suffered the third worst Covid-19 death toll in Western Europe, largely due to entrenched inequalities that were exposed and worsened by the pandemic.
The Unequal Pandemic film, executively produced by Debbie Abrahams MP and Good Guys Productions, draws to light the disproportionate impact of the pandemic on marginalised communities. This pre-release screening and panel event, created in collaboration with Covid-19 Bereaved Families for Justice UK and UCL, provides an opportunity for policy makers, bereaved families, experts and all with an interest in protecting lives in the future, to take stock of what went wrong, and what can and must be done to make sure the UK is better prepared when the next pandemic hits.
We hope this event will allow us to gather and learn from the experiences of experts, government workers and community members, and help us forge a practical path towards pandemic preparedness.
