Empowering Voices, Transforming Health: Unveiling South London's Journey in Knowledge Equity

In 2021, Centric and TSIP delved into South London’s medical scepticism amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, supported by Impact on Urban Health. Our research highlighted a distinct lack of trust in healthcare institutions, especially among specific ethnic communities, leading many to distance themselves from mainstream health guidelines.
