RRLW invited to host Chief Medical Officers (CMOs) from UK Overseas Territories

Chief Medical Officers (CMOs) across the UK Overseas Territories (UKOTs) serve as senior health policy advisors and work collaboratively through networks to tackle shared regional and global health challenges.

The aim of the visit was to give CMOs a feel for community-based projects that address non-communicable diseases like CVD. RRLW delivered a presentation emphasising the critical need for liaison between healthcare professionals and voluntary community organisations, particularly regarding improving health outcomes among Black African communities and reducing health inequalities that persist within this population.
