Barts Health strives to improve diversity in research

Barts Health NHS Trust are working to increase participation of people from Black communities in research, after data shows that only around 1 in 50 people involved in our Covid-19 vaccine clinical trials were of Black heritage. 

While this figure is higher than the national average, given 1 in 5 of those the Trust serves are Black, Black Caribbean or Black African, much more needs to be done to ensure true representation in research.
