The challenge
To find out the perspectives of intersectional asylum and refugee communities across the UK. The project was co-designed with the community who fed back the importance of feeding back barriers to accessing health care, particularly primary care.
What we did
Community Researchers with lived experience of asylum lead research conversations in their communities reaching more 80 people across the UK. We ran a further two workshops in Cardiff and London.
The outcome
So far, we have heard that trust is low. Health literacy is poor and digital access is patchy. But people want to be engaged and have their say on all things health data. The full report will be shared in autumn 2026.
