Short abstract:
The Black Maternity Matters (BMM) X North Bristol NHS Trust pilot delivered anti-racism training to three cohorts between November 2024 and March 2025. Evaluation shows improved awareness, confidence, and motivation to implement anti-racist practices, particularly among senior leaders and champions. Key challenges included time constraints and organisational support. Recommendations include tailoring content to NBT’s context, extending training, and providing ongoing support to sustain impact. Overall, the programme was rated useful and impactful, with early signs of organisational change.
