ARC South London has appointed 13 people to be part of our new Covid-19 public research panel.
The panel members all live or work in south London, with backgrounds across the nine characteristics protected under the Equality Act 2010. The panel has been set up to ensure that diverse communities can share their experiences of the pandemic, including issues of inequity and discrimination and feed directly into our Covid research within the ARC. It will be chaired by Dr Josephine Ocloo, the diversity and inclusion lead for the ARC, supported by Clare Coultas, in her role in the ARC public health theme.
Our panel members (and some of the wider ARC team) attended their first panel meeting on the 21st January and are introduced below:
Members of the panel will be involved in the NIHR ARC South London’s ‘Inside Research” seminar series on the 17 of February from 6-7:30pm and will contribute to the discussions about research being conducted within the ARC on the pandemic. Find out more about the event
