Race Equality Foundation publishes migrant health briefing

Please find attached below “Health and access to health care of migrants in the UK”, published by the Race Equality Foundation. It is also available online at http://www.better-health.org.uk/files/health/health-brief19.pdf

This briefing says that the changing size, diversity and needs of the UK migrant population have yet to be sufficiently addressed in academic research and mainstream health policy and practice. It argues that it is important to move beyond a framework of ethnic differences and inequalities in health, and to consider a range of factors that may explain the experiences and needs of migrants. It also suggests ways in which research, policy and practice might address barriers to health, well-being and health care in meeting the needs of migrants.
