Bristol Immunisation Group (BIG HIT) is delighted to welcome Dr Ilhem Berrou as a new co-director.
Ilhem is Senior Lecturer in Applied Pharmacology at the University of the West of England (UWE Bristol).
In 2023, she won a UWE Bristol Community Impact Award for strengthening connections with communities in the West of England, and in 2022 received a HSJ Patient Safety Award for Improving Health Outcomes for Minority Ethnic Communities.
Ilhem joins Dr Sarah Denford, Anne Morris, Dr Rajeka Lazarus and Dr Marion Roderick as co-directors for the HIT.
You can hear more about Ilhem’s work on the latest episode of UWE Bristol’s Let’s Talk Health and Care podcast, hosted by Peter Brindle and Marc Griffiths. Ilhem is joined by Huda Hajinur, co-founder and Director of Caafi Health. Together they explore some of the causes of health inequalities, how trust underpins communities’ interactions with the health and care system, and how to design and deliver a model of community-powered healthcare.
