The topic of Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) in health and care research participation has been gaining traction in the past few years. As we continue to discuss and tackle the problem of underrepresentation in clinical trials, we are also expanding our scope of involvement and inclusivity. The conversations are becoming broader: from ethnicity to socioeconomic status to gender identity and disability.
However, while the importance of EDI is well known, achieving this goal has proved more challenging. Such a multifaceted subject demands a similarly nuanced solution – in short, there is no blanket approach to ensuring that the benefits of research are accessible to all members of the UK population. Instead, EDI needs different solutions at different stages of research.
In this interactive webinar, brought to you by the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR), we delve beneath the surface of EDI in research to unpick common challenges in offering equal participation opportunities in the UK.
