Jewish communities in England experience health inequalities across a number of metrics including COVID-19 morbidity, immunisation take up, and breast cancer risk. The Jewish community has twice the number of people aged over 60 compared to the general population

The scope of this work is to provide insights that will help to promote effective and respectful communication with ethnic minority women and pregnant people.

The NHS Race & Health Observatory was formally established in April 2021, with a remit to examine ethnic health inequalities in England and beyond.
