Our chair, Evelyn Asante-Mensah OBE, led this brilliant event to inspire Black and ethnic minority colleagues into leadership.

The #BlackHistoryMonth theme - Standing Firm in Power & Pride - is another good opportunity to celebrate our Black colleagues, who make up nearly 10% of the NHS workforce.
