Call for Men from Black African Ancestry to Test a Prostate Cancer App
We are seeking men from black African ancestry who reside in the UK to test the SPEAK app. Research has shown that men from black African ancestry are more likely to develop aggressive prostate cancer and have poorer outcomes than other races/ethnicities.
By sharing your experiences, you will be helping to contribute to research that will better understand how the SPEAK app can help men who may or may not have prostate symptoms.
Please click on the link in the recruitment flyer to register your interest and for further information about the study.

Tests to assess newborns’ health not effective for BAME babies in UK
Prof Gina Awoko Higginbottom MBE
Emeritus Professor of Ethnicity and Community Health, School of Health Sciences, University of Nottingham
Gina has been part of an amazing team for the Apgar research.
The NHS Race and Health Observatory, in collaboration with Sheffield Hallam and Nottingham University, has undertaken a comprehensive review of neonatal assessment and practice in Black, Asian, and minority ethnic newborns. Previous studies have shown that Black, Asian, and minority ethnic mothers and babies are more likely to experience adverse outcomes compared to their White counterparts. It is crucial that we understand how current care practices contribute to these disparities and make the necessary improvements to ensure the best chances of survival and a good quality of life for every baby.
The report we are sharing today represents a significant milestone in addressing neonatal care within the context of diverse cultural backgrounds and ethnic health inequalities. It delves into the unique challenges faced by Black, Asian, and minority ethnic newborns and offers valuable insights to improve assessment and care practices. The findings and recommendations within this report have the potential to drive policy changes and transform medical practices, ultimately leading to better health outcomes.
