British Association of Physicians of Indian Origin (BAPIO)

We are a non-profit organisation open to all healthcare professionals, promoting diversity, equality and inclusion. Since conception in 1996 with the initial aim of supporting international medical graduates, BAPIO has grown in stature and influence to become one of the largest organisations of its type in the country. We are represented through our numerous divisions covering all regions of the UK as well multiple sub forums. We collaborate regularly with the General Medical Council, Health Education England and the Royal Colleges to monitor, highlight and address the difficulties faced by doctors and ensure positive systems are in place to support healthcare workers. We focus on supporting and promoting professional links with the Indian subcontinent (including India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Nepal) as well providing charitable relief focusing on providing better health care globally.

The Association of LGBTQ+ Doctors & Dentists (GLADD)

Our primary aim is to grow a vibrant, welcoming and diverse community, open to anyone who supports the values that we stand for; namely the unification and representation of the LGBTQ+ medical and dental communities in the UK. We run social & networking events in London and through our regional networks around the country. The LGBTQ+ community faces more challenges and barriers to accessing healthcare than the general population, and has poorer health as a result. We have a national voice in LGBTQ+ health activism and education, working with leading figures such as the British Medical Association, General Medical Council, Royal Colleges and Parliament to tackle these important issues.

Race & Health

Discrimination is a fundamental and powerful determinant of health. Discrimination based on race, ethnicity, skin colour, caste, religion, Indigeneity or migratory status affects the health of individuals and communities across the world. Our goal is to reduce the adverse effects of discrimination that leads to poor health. Race & Health is a collective of academics, artists, activists, policy makers, grassroots organisations and individuals. This will be a hub for investigating how racism and discrimination affects health and interventions to improve health. We are creating a catalyst to achieve equitable health for all.
