    Improving the recruitment of Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) communities in health and social care research: a review of literature
    (2017-01-30) Raghavan, Raghu; Jutlla, Karan
    It is suggested that Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) communities experience severe health inequalities and poor health outcomes compared to indigenous white groups. However there is a dearth of health-related research undertaken with BAME populations in the UK. Many terms are used to describe this group of people such as ‘ethnic minorities’, ‘racial minorities’ ‘black and minority ethnic’ groups. The aim of this literature review is to identify the barriers and enablers for recruiting people from BAME communities in research. Searches were an iterative process, designed to keep up to date with published material from the year 2000 onwards to 2015. In total, 54 articles were retrieved from which 39 papers were included in this review. A thematic analysis was applied to identify the key issues for consideration when conducting health related research with BAME communities. A number of key themes were identified as potential barriers for conducting research with BAME communities and approaches for improving research participation of Black Asian and Minority Ethnic communities are discussed

    Mental Health Services for Black and Minority Ethnic Groups in Leicester Leicestershire and Rutland
    (Mary Seacole Research Centre, De Montfort University, 2014-04) Raghavan, Raghu; Griffin, Edward
    It is well documented that people from Black and minority ethnic communities experience severe inequalities in our mental health services. Leicester is one of England’s most culturally diverse cities with approximately 50% of its population from Black and Minority Ethnic groups, particularly those of South Asian origins. Our aim was to map the experiences of people from Black and Minority Ethnic Communities using the Mental Health Services in Leicester and Leicestershire. Focusing on five key documents on mental health and ethnicity and associated literature this documentary analysis addressed the following questions: 1. To what extent do we understand the MH needs of BME communities in Leicester and what do we need to know to improve this understanding? 2. To what extent do services meet the needs of BME individuals and how could this be improved? Recommendations

    What is long Covid?
    (LTCCOVID, 2022-02-23) Hinsliff-Smith, K.; Gordon, Adam
    There is no universally agreed definition of long COVID and different studies use varying definitions. Indeed, the World Health Organisation (WHO) highlights that “over the course of the pandemic, various terminology including long COVID, long-haul COVID or the WHO-recommended post COVID-19 condition have been proposed” (WHO 2021). Still, a globally standardized clinical case definition of this condition remains lacking. In the UK the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) uses the following set of definitions to distinguish 3 phases following infection consistent with COVID-19, and to define the term ‘long COVID’:
