"Each one, reach one. Pass the message on to one person and you can save and improve people's lives" NHS Blood and Transplant is changing lives through inclusive partnerships and we had the pleasure of speaking with Geraldine Parker-Smith, their National Partnership Manager to hear about her her inspiring journey of over 26 years in the healthcare sector and the innovative ways they're fostering inclusivity. Driven by her passion for helping save lives, particularly within the Black community, Geraldine discusses: ➡ the life-changing importance of blood donation ➡ ongoing challenges in blood supply disparities ➡ plus innovative NHSBT campaigns that foster inclusivity. From cultural snacks at donor centres to flash mobs with gospel choirs, Geraldine's partnerships bring a new level of community engagement to NHSBT's mission. Watch the full interview here: https://lnkd.in/eEH2A6qW 💡 In the spirit of "Each one, reach one", please repost this and share with your network. As Geraldine shares in this conversation, blood supplies are on Amber alert. The NHS needs more donors to come forward and give blood, especially those with RO blood type in the Black community to treat sickle cell patients. GatenbySanderson support NHSBT's #DonateBreaks campaign and all our staff can take time in their working day to go and donate blood, as part of our agile working policy. We encourage you and your organisation to support the campaign and help increase stocks so urgently needed to save lives. #Leadership #Health #NHSLeadership #BHM #BHM24 #333Pledges

Just had an insightful session attending this webinar 'Why are there so few Black professors, and what can we do about it?'. The collaboration of participants on the panel from the Society of Black Academics (SBA), GatenbySanderson and the Higher Education Policy Institute made this event very enriching. It was enlightening to hear about lived experiences, practical strategies and also the need for more research to provide relevant tools for those of us seeking to advance our careers. On one level it is sad that there has to be this level of focus and support for black academics in order to move forward but with the reality of the struggle faced in advancing careers, this collaboration and the ensuing results could not be more welcomed and timely. Thank you for this. 👏
