Story of 64 year old
Maryani
"I have always wanted to go for Hajj"
Junk collector saves for 26 years to realise her dream
Would work every morning from dawn to morning prayer collecting
recyclable items such as plastic cups, bottles and bits of cardboard that she
could sell on
After 19 years she had saved 25 million rupiyahs, the m i n i m u m first payment
required for Hajj. She continued working for another 7 years until this year to
save the remaining 10 million rupiyahs
She admitted that 26 years was a very long time, but never worried about
when she would have enough money to finally perform Hajj
"The reward for an
accepted Hajj is
nothing but paradise"

The Prophet'sLast
sermon
Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him)
O People, listen to me in earnest, worship Allah, perform your five
daily prayers (salah), fast during the month of Ramadan, and give your wealth
in zakat (almsgiving). Perform Hajj if you can afford it.
All mankind is from Adam and Eve, an Arab has no superiority over a
non-Arab nor a non-Arab has any superiority over an Arab; also a white has no
superiority over black nor does a black have any superiority over a white
except by piety and good action. Learn that every Muslim is a brother to every
Muslim and that the Muslims constitute one brotherhood. Nothing shall be
legitimate to a Muslim which belongs to a fellow Muslim unless it was given
freely and willingly. Do not, therefore, do injustice to yourselves.
Remember, one day you will appear before Allah and answer for your
deeds. So beware, do not stray from the path of righteousness after I am gone.

MY EXPERIENCE OF UMRAH IN THE MONTH
OF RAMADAN
Syeda Alam
What is it?
 Umrah, the ‘Islamic pilgrimage' undertaken by Muslims when they enter Makkah
 Umrah is composed of four things namely:
1. Ihraam, (Intention of starting Umrah or Hajj)
2. circumambulation of the Sacred House (tawaaf),
3. saa’i between al-Safa and al-Marwah, and
4. shaving the head or cutting the hair.

The NHS provides a comprehensive service, available to all
irrespective of gender, race, disability, age, sexual orientation, religion,
belief, gender reassignment, pregnancy and maternity or marital or civil
partnership status. The service is designed to diagnose, treat and improve
both physical and mental health. It has a duty to each and every individual
that it serves and must respect their human rights.
At the same time, it has a wider social duty to promote equality through the
services it provides and to pay particular attention to groups or sections of
society where improvements in health and life expectancy are not keeping
pace with the rest of the population.
The 1st principle of the NHS Constitution
www.england.nhs.uk
Black and minority ethnic (BME) staff in the NHS, 2018 –
the scale of the challenge
• 1.4 million people work in the NHS
• 20% staff from BME backgrounds
• 28% GPs from BME backgrounds
• 40% of Hospital Doctors are from
BME backgrounds
• 21% Nurses and Midwives rising
to more than 50% in London
But…
• 8 BME CEOs (from ~231 Trusts)
• 9 Chairs
• 11 Executive Directors of Nursing
• 37 Medical Directors
• Less than 6% very senior managers
from BME backgrounds
• 7% overall BME board
representation

In the 2018 survey
12.8% of staff
reported
experiencing
discrimination at
work (q15a & b).
Ethnic background
continues to be the
most common
reason for
discrimination.

Identifying the issue
"It can't be right that 10 years after the
launch of the NHS race-equality plan,
while 41% of NHS staff in London are
from black and ethnic minority
backgrounds, similar in proportion to
the Londoners they serve, only 8% of
trust board directors are, with two-fifths
of London trust boards having no BME
directors at all.
Similar patterns apply elsewhere, and
have actually been going backwards.”

The NHS Long Term Plan, NHS People Plan and
the WRES
• Respect, equality and diversity will be central to changing the
culture and will be at the heart of the workforce implementation
plan.
• Through the WRES, we are making progress in addressing these
issues from the perspective of BME staff.
• Working with the WRES team, each NHS organisation will set
its own target for BME representation across its leadership
team and broader workforce.
• This will help ensure senior teams and boards more closely
represent the diversity of the workforce and the local
communities they serve.

Delivering public health programmes for everyone
What are S7A public health programmes?
• 33 national public health programmes spanning screening, immunisations and child health information
services (CHIS)
• Agreed between the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care and NHS England
• Includes all national cancer screening programmes (bowel, breast and cervical) and key immunisations
including human papillomavirus (HPV), flu and measles, mumps and rubella (MMR)
Why are they important?
• National public health programmes are critical to the health of whole populations
• Protect communities from preventable diseases
• Identify problems early before they turn into bigger problems
Addressing health inequalities in public health programmes
51 |
Delivering public health programmes for everyone (cont)
How are they delivered?
• They are direct commissioned programmes, which means NHS England, through its national and regional
teams, has a direct hand in how programmes are delivered
• We work hand in glove with Public Health England who provide expert clinical knowledge
• The actual delivery method varies programme to programme – it can include home kits, community clinics,
primary care, maternity services
• Locally applied within a national delivery framework
How are we doing?
• Not bad. But we can always do better!

Addressing inequalities in public health programmes
Challenges:
• Availability of data to better understand access and variation
• Capability of existing IT systems to help
• Complex commissioning landscape
• Workforce and capacity
Opportunities:
• Technology – screening platforms and electronic personal health records (including NHS app)
• Using local knowledge to inform plans
• PHE screening inequalities strategy was published in 2018
• PHE immunisation inequalities strategy is being developed
• Closer working with Local Authorities
• Reviews and reports

Inequalities in the Long Term Plan
What does the Long Term Plan say?
• Develop a ‘menu of evidence based interventions’
• Ensure commissioners have the right sort of information to understand the needs of their populations
• Improve uptake in screening and immunisation (with particular reference to childhood immunisations); and,
• Introduce new tests like the faecal immunochemical test (FIT) and cervical primary screen
• Developments in electronic Personal Child Health Records (Digital red book) and child health
What will the impact of delivering the LTP have on addressing inequalities in public health
programmes?
• Understanding commissioning/delivery challenges and gaps
• Focus on unblocking/enabling delivery
• Sharing practice to improve

Cancer Screening (Our Findings)
• Reported increased understanding of process, and intention to
partake in NHS screening programs after attending intervention
• [Intra]Faith and cultural sensitivity crucial (music, fate, segregation)
• Need to understand & engage with health behaviors and beliefs
of mosque population
Summary - Challenges
• Interest – health topics for all audiences with good attendance
• Reactivity – lack of interest until community affected
• Women & youth – mixed sessions can M>F. Taboos difficult to tackle
• Weak institutions – need lots of support to deliver health promotion.
Volunteers struggle to engage despite strong desire.
• Hierarchical – Medics/specialists over public health/nurses etc.
• Trust – distrust of ‘outsiders’ inc. Muslim organizations and individuals
unknown to community. Seen as a ‘problem’
• Beliefs – ‘fatalism’; ‘Hakims’ & healers; socio-cultural
Summary - Opportunities
• Women – Ladies only sessions, will engage whole family
• Narrative - capitalise on health issues in media, positive engagement
• Sensitivity – Muslim practitioners are seen to understand religious issues
better. Intra-faith, racial & class differences remain
• Credibility – having national organizations gives more weight
• Health checks – good incentive to attending (&food!)
• Champions – when one institution ‘gets it’, domino effect
in community networks. Chaplains also key.
• Potential – it works! Significant untapped resource;
energize and engage Muslim community through mosques
Further research needed…
• We are looking to build on our community engagement and
undertake quality research into the health of Muslim communities
• The impact of cancer screenings programmes in UK populations is
untested and we need to collect data
• Especially the use of mosques and faith institutions as mechanisms of
health promotion; intersectionality of UK Muslim population

Co-Chair of The Muslim Network Health
Collaboration
Breast & Cervical screening
Barriers:
Muslim scholarly input essential
Health professionals need to
understand religious and cultural
sensitivities and role of prayer/faith
Community outlook
Forward Look
Changes suggested:
Sensitivity to the word 'breast'
Treatment setting
Build community champions
Completeness of ethnicity and
religious coding
Stating that health professional will
be female
Accomodating understandings of
dignity
Many of the barriers toward screening are
not exclusive to the Muslim community,
and were concurrent across a variety of
ethnicities, such as issue of privacy and
dignity. The lack of knowledge was cited as
the biggestbarrier...
Islam encourages preventative medicine,
investigating and treating symptons and
disease. Prayer, spirituality and phrophetic
medicine are highly encouraged during the
course of illness and is not a barrier to
accessing modern treatments but can be
used as a positive adjunct.
Conclusion
Ongoing work with Muslim scholars who
have a background working with the
healthcare sector is needed to understand
cultural and religion sensitivities, as well as
educating them on contemporary
healthcare issues such as screening...
Whilst this conference was local, any
findings can be applied to Muslims across a
variety of ethnicities in the UK due to the
same Muslimidentity.

    50 | Delivering publichealth programmes for everyone What are S7A public health programmes? • 33 national public health programmes spanning screening, immunisations and child health information services (CHIS) • Agreed between the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care and NHS England • Includes all national cancer screening programmes (bowel, breast and cervical) and key immunisations including human papillomavirus (HPV), flu and measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) Why are they important? • National public health programmes are critical to the health of whole populations • Protect communities from preventable diseases • Identify problems early before they turn into bigger problems Addressing health inequalities in public health programmes
  • 51.
    51 | Delivering publichealth programmes for everyone (cont) How are they delivered? • They are direct commissioned programmes, which means NHS England, through its national and regional teams, has a direct hand in how programmes are delivered • We work hand in glove with Public Health England who provide expert clinical knowledge • The actual delivery method varies programme to programme – it can include home kits, community clinics, primary care, maternity services • Locally applied within a national delivery framework How are we doing? • Not bad. But we can always do better! Addressing health inequalities in public health programmes
  • 52.
    52 | Addressing inequalitiesin public health programmes Challenges: • Availability of data to better understand access and variation • Capability of existing IT systems to help • Complex commissioning landscape • Workforce and capacity Opportunities: • Technology – screening platforms and electronic personal health records (including NHS app) • Using local knowledge to inform plans • PHE screening inequalities strategy was published in 2018 • PHE immunisation inequalities strategy is being developed • Closer working with Local Authorities • Reviews and reports Addressing health inequalities in public health programmes
  • 53.
    53 | Inequalities inthe Long Term Plan What does the Long Term Plan say? • Develop a ‘menu of evidence based interventions’ • Ensure commissioners have the right sort of information to understand the needs of their populations • Improve uptake in screening and immunisation (with particular reference to childhood immunisations); and, • Introduce new tests like the faecal immunochemical test (FIT) and cervical primary screen • Developments in electronic Personal Child Health Records (Digital red book) and child health What will the impact of delivering the LTP have on addressing inequalities in public health programmes? • Understanding commissioning/delivery challenges and gaps • Focus on unblocking/enabling delivery • Sharing practice to improve Addressing health inequalities in public health programmes

    Cancer Screening (OurFindings) • Reported increased understanding of process, and intention to partake in NHS screening programs after attending intervention • [Intra]Faith and cultural sensitivity crucial (music, fate, segregation) • Need to understand & engage with health behaviors and beliefs of mosque population
  • 70.
    Summary - Challenges •Interest – health topics for all audiences with good attendance • Reactivity – lack of interest until community affected • Women & youth – mixed sessions can M>F. Taboos difficult to tackle • Weak institutions – need lots of support to deliver health promotion. Volunteers struggle to engage despite strong desire. • Hierarchical – Medics/specialists over public health/nurses etc. • Trust – distrust of ‘outsiders’ inc. Muslim organizations and individuals unknown to community. Seen as a ‘problem’ • Beliefs – ‘fatalism’; ‘Hakims’ & healers; socio-cultural
  • 71.
    Summary - Opportunities •Women – Ladies only sessions, will engage whole family • Narrative - capitalise on health issues in media, positive engagement • Sensitivity – Muslim practitioners are seen to understand religious issues better. Intra-faith, racial & class differences remain • Credibility – having national organizations gives more weight • Health checks – good incentive to attending (&food!) • Champions – when one institution ‘gets it’, domino effect in community networks. Chaplains also key. • Potential – it works! Significant untapped resource; energize and engage Muslim community through mosques
  • 72.
    Further research needed… •We are looking to build on our community engagement and undertake quality research into the health of Muslim communities • The impact of cancer screenings programmes in UK populations is untested and we need to collect data • Especially the use of mosques and faith institutions as mechanisms of health promotion; intersectionality of UK Muslim population

    Breast & Cervicalscreening Barriers: Muslim scholarly input essential Health professionals need to understand religious and cultural sensitivities and role of prayer/faith Community outlook
  • 83.
    Forward Look Changes suggested: Sensitivityto the word 'breast' Treatment setting Build community champions Completeness of ethnicity and religious coding Stating that health professional will be female Accomodating understandings of dignity
  • 84.
    Many of thebarriers toward screening are not exclusive to the Muslim community, and were concurrent across a variety of ethnicities, such as issue of privacy and dignity. The lack of knowledge was cited as the biggestbarrier... Islam encourages preventative medicine, investigating and treating symptons and disease. Prayer, spirituality and phrophetic medicine are highly encouraged during the course of illness and is not a barrier to accessing modern treatments but can be used as a positive adjunct. Conclusion
  • 85.
    Ongoing work withMuslim scholars who have a background working with the healthcare sector is needed to understand cultural and religion sensitivities, as well as educating them on contemporary healthcare issues such as screening... Whilst this conference was local, any findings can be applied to Muslims across a variety of ethnicities in the UK due to the same Muslimidentity. Conclusion
