Back to basics – understanding lived experience and intersectionality in health and care

At this year’s GSK IMPACT Awards I met a manager from a voluntary and community sector organisation, and this blog is based around our discussion on lived experience and intersectionality. I introduced myself to him and shared my interest in how health and care providers work with ethnic minorities with lived experience of care services to tackle inequalities in access, care and outcomes, with a specific focus on gender and use of intersectional perspectives – I do admit that it was a mouthful.
