Providing A Voice For Ethnic Minority Healthcare Organisations and Networks
FEMHO is based in the UK and brings together self-governed ethnic minority health and social care organisations.
The Federation of Ethnic Minority Healthcare Organisations (FEMHO) is based in the UK and brings together self-governed ethnic minority health and social care organisations. The aim is to improve and enhance the interests for ethnic minority organisations in the UK.
FEMHO is driven to support the rights and interests of all member organisations, helping to provide a voice for the ethnic minority health and social care organisations that we represent. As it currently stands, there are clear inequalities when it comes to ethnic minorities in the UK but FEMHO has a goal of influencing policy makers, commissioners, regulators and opinion formers across a local and national level to help make a change.
As a group of ethnic minority healthcare organisations, we strive to make a difference and change the face of healthcare for those from ethnic minority backgrounds
The Federation consists of ethnic minority members and allies in organisations that have a primary purpose in health and social care. We believe that ethnic communities require powerful representation and that’s why we strive to create a better healthcare world that is free from inequalities. As a result, our membership clearly reflects a high level of diversity and this underpins the true meaning of the Federation and what it sets out to achieve. There is clear evidence that there are some differences between how care is delivered, so we want change that.
Join With UsMembership is offered to those organisations that play an integral role in delivering health and social care for ethnic minorities. Our governance model is constantly changing and as a federation, we are seeking a new and modern approach to consortium association. Collectively, we bring reputable and knowledgeable experts together to strengthen the reach and voice of ethnic communities across the UK through the social organisations that represent them.
Members will have significant input into how FEMHO moves forward and that enables members to have involvement in all core areas of activities that it undertakes. As a result, FEMHO works closely with all organisations, empowering them to fulfil their potential, helping to create an environment that enables them to provide the support that their communities require.
FEMHO strives to challenge the NHS and highlight the importance of ensuring everyone has a voice and the ability to receive the right level of care. Reducing discrimination and ensuring diverse representation is a challenge that we are facing but FEMHO aims to improve outcomes. The federation firmly believes in working with our community and our members will work collectively to stand for what they believe in and this will help communities to thrive again.
