Panel discussion: Anti-discrimination strategies for fairer practice education

This session will bring together experts in the field who have completed work on developing inclusive strategies for fairer practice.

The panel members will briefly present work that was previously funded by NHSE (WTE) (previously Health Education England) for projects that aimed to promote greater inclusion and fairness in practice.

It is intended this will prompt discussion among delegates about ‘Practice Education Enabling Transition’, and why we need to talk about anti-discrimination for fairer practice.
