Trust in Healthcare in Black Communities | Jonah Rusere & Oliver Kemp

As part of PCR’s and Malecare's colaborative focus on the racial disparity in prostate cancer, we discuss the nature of trust and how we can build trust in the scientific and healthcare sectors amongst the Black community in the UK and the USA. In this video, our CEO, Oliver Kemp, interviews Jonah Rusere, an Advanced Nurse Practitioner, on the topic of trust in the healthcare sector amongst the Black community to educate and spread awareness to the public, particularly patients, academics, and healthcare professionals. They explore the importance of trust, understanding cultural backgrounds, and the need for healthcare professionals to connect with patients on a personal level. The conversation highlights the importance of addressing patients' anxieties, the role of traditional medicine, and the necessity of spending time to build meaningful patient relationships. They propose potential solutions to increase inclusivity and trust within healthcare systems, emphasizing the value of patient voices in shaping effective care strategies.
