Links with our diverse communities
Our commitment to reflecting Brighton and Hove’s diverse communities includes working with organisations which help us understand the opinions and concerns of communities that have traditionally faced a greater degree of exclusion.
These organisations include:
- Spectrum (Lesbian, gay, bi-sexual and transgender community forum)
- The Carers Centre
- Black and Minority Ethnic Community Partnership
- Brighton and Hove Refugee Forum
- Brighton and Hove Federation of Disabled People
- Brighton and Hove Pensioner's Forum
Gypsies and the travelling community
Better communication is needed between front line NHS staff and Gypsy and Traveller families, says a study commissioned by NHS Brighton and Hove.
It found that while most Gypsies and Travellers use the city’s A&E and other urgent care services appropriately, they are more likely than other people to report a poor experience.
