Does Appraiser Diversity Reflect Those They Serve
As part of my Health Education England (HEE) Fellowship, I chose to do research on the diversity of Appraisers and Appraisees in the Wessex Appraisal Service (WAS). Data were collected between June and September 2021.
The research was done with special thanks to Dr Susi Caesar, Miss Gill Watson, and Mrs Jools Mumford who are all part of the Wessex Appraisal Service.

This research addresses questions about protected characteristics with honesty and transparency. The aim was to produce an equality and diversity factsheet that would help to inform Wessex Appraisal Services.
More about the research project
We know that the healthcare profession tends to attract diversity and the findings from this research show doctors in Dorset and Hampshire are more ethnically diverse (23%) compared to the population (4.4%) as well as Nationally (13%).
We hope that through these results doctors would be able to recognise they have shared characteristics thus they are not alone.

According to Prostate Cancer UK, 1 in 4 black men in the UK will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime. This is double the 1 in 8 risks faced by all men. Awareness of cancer signs is lower in those who are male, younger, and from BAME or low socioeconomic groups. 4 in 5 people (85%) are affected financially by a cancer diagnosis.
It was an honour to collaborate with Michaelene Holder-March Dr. (Honoris Causa) RN, RM, LLB (Hons)MSc IAEM, FCMi, FInstAM, FInstLM, Prof. (Dr.) Sanjay Gandhi, Tricia Zenisa George, and Dr John Bolodeoku in making a contribution to the NICE COVID-19 Rapid guideline on behalf of the BAME Health Collaborative.
As a member of a small but thriving Igbo community in Dorset, I have volunteered my time to hopefully make a valuable contribution towards tackling the issues highlighted in these studies which found awareness and help-seeking behaviour to be low across all minority ethnic groups, with the lowest awareness in the Black African group.
I completed my time as an International Medical Graduate Fellow in September 2019. It was a great year and I had learned a lot from working with these wonderful people. I was tasked with creating the 1st newsletter which documented the various projects we were did and the courses we were able to set up including an Exam up-skilling course, Induction Programme for doctors new to the NHS and many more.
IMGs represent an increasing proportion of doctors working in the UK. They come to the UK from diverse cultures around the world to work as specialty trainees, GPs, Physicians, SAS Doctors or Trust doctors. These doctors are and will continue to be a fundamental part of the UK health care delivery system.
I took part in a 2 day programme that turned out to be lots of fun. I gave a talk on the role Art has played in my life as a physician. I mainly reflected on how Art has helped me cope with the daily pressures of frontline medicine as well as maintaining a good work-life balance.
