- To demonstrate the health activism of Black women in identifying health concerns of Black women and developing strategies and policies to reduce existing health inequities.
- To provide an opportunity for Black women activists, researchers, policy makers and practitioners to examine current gaps in research knowledge and provide an opportunity to develop an agenda for future research on the health and wellbeing of Black women in the UK, especially in relation to personalised medicine.
