Do you know the difference between Romany Gypsies and Irish Travellers – and why it matters for health?

One of the largest minority groups in our region are Romany Gypsies. To help staff across the Trust provide more inclusive and effective care, the CCICP Transformation Team invited Pride of Romani to deliver a training session on cultural awareness and reasonable adjustments.

This training explored:
🔹 Genetic predispositions within the Romany Gypsy community
🔹 End-of-life care practices and traditions
🔹 Reasonable adjustments to support engagement with health services
🔹 The importance of accurate ethnicity coding

Understanding these differences isn’t just about awareness – it can be life-saving.
If you are a member of MCHT staff and would like to access the training, please email ccicp.ccicptransformation@mcht.nhs.uk
