  • "With equity, everyone wins"

    "With equity, everyone wins"
    May 7 2025
    In this powerful episode, we’re joined by Bami Adenipekun, an equity consultant with lived experience of breast cancer, to discuss equity and representation in cancer care. Drawing on her personal and professional experiences, Bami reflects on the moments she had to advocate for herself during treatment and the systemic barriers that continue to affect people from marginalised communities. She breaks down the difference between equity and equality, and why small, intentional actions from health and social care professionals can create lasting change.
