This policy covers important areas such as conflicts of interest which are essential to safeguard SAHF against in light of the interaction it has in an advisory capacity to several bodies. The policy underwent minor revisions to its travel policy in light of the need for continued restraint in the current economic climate. - Current Chairpersons and group members are:- ||| |---|---| |**Diabetes Group**|| |Professor Wasim Hanif(Chair)|Professor Vinod Patel| |Prof Kamlesh Khunti(Chair)|Professor Kiran Patel| |Dr Sri Bellary|Dr Mohammed Roshan| |Professor Sudhesh Kumar|Dr Kamal Ali| |Professor Nita Forouhi|Dr Rahul Nayar| |Dr Sailesh Sankar|Professor Paramjit Gill| |Dr AteeqSyed|Dr Sukhdev Singh| |**Cardiovascular Group**|| |---|---| |Dr Mahendra Patel(Chair)|Dr Justin Zaman| |Dr Amitava Banerjee|Prof Kiran Patel| |Professor RajBhopal|Professor Paramjit Gill| |Sr Ranjit Dhillon|| ## **Ethnicity and Health** Since 2001, SAHF has decided to direct the majority of the work of the charity towards the field of ethnicity and health, to fill a void and meet a need in the UK. The following strategies continue to form the priority areas of work for the SAHF. 1. To promote improvements in the quality of, and access to, healthcare and health promotion in South Asians. 2. To promote research that leads to the above objectives 3. To act as an advocacy group and advisory body The aims are defined as SAHF needing to practically strive to achieve success in the following areas:- - To act as a strategic think tank and provide leadership in policy and health advocacy for professionals and patients 6 - To promote health and provide education and resources to both healthcare professionals and patients. - Aim to improve access to services by highlighting areas of need and potential improvement - To facilitate the development of a network of healthcare professionals to disseminate information and improve cohesive working - To promote high quality research and to facilitate research and dissemination of research findings wherever possible. The impact of good health extends far beyond mental and physical well-being. Good health contributes to ameliorating social disadvantage for both the individual and consequently the community. The expertise present within the Board of Patrons and Trustees enables SAHF to address issues concerning ethnic minority healthcare in all tiers of society from Government policy to a grass roots level. In the field of research, the charity aims to ‘catalsye’ and facilitate collaboration rather than undertake research directly in the arena of ethnic health. It aims to commission work where a need is identified. The charity has undertaken a responsibility not only to obtain information, but also to disseminate it to the general public. We continue to develop and promote health interventions in collaboration with the Department of Health, Diabetes UK and the British Heart Foundation, as well as numerous other Governmental and non-governmental organisations. Although in the past decade SAHF has hosted several specialty groups, in 2018 a decision was made by trustees to focus its efforts in areas where there was a clear healthcare need coupled to strength in leadership. We have therefor focussed efforts in 20-21 to diabetes and cardiovascular disease but due to the pandemic, we also allocated significant resource and effort to the pandemic. ## **NICE** SAHF and its members have contributed to over 120 NICE guidelines to date, ranging from Chairmanship of guidelines groups and technology appraisal committee membership, to stakeholder input. In 2007, Prof Kiran Patel and Dr Rubin Minhas also appeared before the Health Select Committee as external experts on the investigation into NICE and advised how the voluntary sector could work transparently and effectively with industry and NICE. In 2010, SAHF contributed to consultations on the changing roles and responsibilities of NICE. Prof Wasim Hanif has served on the Technology Appraisal Committee in 2010-13 and Dr Minhas served on the Technology Appraisals committee and also Chaired the Familial Hyperlipidaemia guideline. ## **Wider Stakeholder Contributions:** SAHF continues to work collaboratively with many organizations, just a sample of which are listed below: - Government Health Committees - Dept of health e.g. South Asian CHD toolkit - Kings Fund - NICE Guideline groups and appraisal committees - UK Health Forum 7 - British Medical Journal (South Asia Awards) - British Heart Foundation - Diabetes and Ramadan Alliance - Men’s Health Forum - British Cardiovascular Society - British Society of Rheumatology - British Society of Gastroenterology - Multiple Sclerosis Society - NHS England - Nuffield Council of Bioethics - NGO Forum - National electronic library for health - British Cardiovascular Society - Diabetes UK - Silver Star Appeal - APNA NHS - CHIEF – Community Health Involvement & Empowerment Forum - British Transplant Society - UK National Kidney Federation - Commonwealth Foundation - World Health Organisation - International forum on Smokeless Tobacco - Scottish Youth Forum - SANSKAR Canada - Centre for Ethnic Health Research - International Diabetes Federation ## **Medical Student Bursaries** Each year SAHF competitively awards at least one and usually two medical student elective bursaries. These are awarded to students with a view to helping the students to undertake a period of study and experiential learning in a field of medicine relating to south Asian healthcare. We encourage students to deliver papers at a national meeting and invite them to our annual conference to present either as a poster or oral presentation. We continue to have strong applications and this year we awarded 2 bursaries to medical students. ## **Fellows** SAHF supported several fellows this year, having developed a scheme which offered mentoring and personal development to trainees and professionals from a variety of healthcare backgrounds. Many produced projects and publications such as infographics to promote health and well being across communities. The scheme is in its early days but is well liked by the fellows and enables senior healthcare professionals to develop the next generation of professionals. 8 ## **Events** ## ➢ **Annual Diabetes Ramadan Conference** On Wednesday 2[nd] March, 2022 the South Asian Health Foundation (SAHF) together with the Diabetes and Ramadan Alliance (www.daralliance.org), held the 6[th] Annual Diabetes in Ramadan Conference both in person in Birmingham and Hybrid. Over 300 delegates joined, ranging from secondary care Consultants, GPs, practice nurses, pharmacists, and researchers to scientists and lay patient and public representatives.

This year, the theme was about addressing _‘_ _**Reducing inequalities post-Covid: challenges, solutions and clinical messages’** ._ The conference covered tailored, expert advice on managing the various aspects of diabetes and cardiovascular disease in the South Asian population during a global pandemic. 12 The Lifetime Achievement Award (made annually at the SAHF Annual Conference), was this year bestowed upon Professor Nita Forouhi who presented her work on ‘ _Diabetes, ethnicity, nutrition and prevention: a journey of discovery_ _**’.**_ Professor Nita Forouhi is a physician scientist and Programme Leader of the Nutritional Epidemiology programme of the MRC Epidemiology Unit at the University of Cambridge. Nita Forouhi’s research is focused on the link between diet, nutrition and the risk of diabetes, obesity and related disorders. Her major research interests include: - Nutritional epidemiology, identifying dietary factors that can elevate or mitigate the risk of developing type 2 diabetes - Developing and using improved methods to assess diet, including the use of objectively measured nutritional biomarkers and metabolomics approaches - Promoting methodological knowledge in dietary assessment through developing webbased projects - To contribute to an understanding of the drivers, barriers and facilitators of healthy dietary choices - Understanding between-population differences in cardio-metabolic health, including variation by ethnicity - Global nutrition and health 13 - ➢ **South Asian Health Foundation and The Centre for Ethnic Health Research have created a number of tier summaries in South Asian languages.** National restriction rules were replaced with a regionally-differentiated approach, where different tiers of restrictions apply in different parts of the country. Summaries of these rules were created in Bengali, Hindi, Punjabi and Urdu highlighting the key points of current tiers. View on website. 14 ## ➢ **Research project activity Mental Health & COVID-19 Project** SAHF supported research exploring the impact of COVID-19 on the mental health of people living in Leicester with a focus on the South Asian community, with the use of online surveys, the main priority was to collect information about experiences with mental health during and after lockdown restrictions. A series of focus groups were planned. The SAHF Mental Health working group including junior doctors and psychologists met on a regular basis to discuss ideas and adapt the project to evolving restrictions with COVID-19. ## ➢ **Infographics** With the involvement of members of our mental health working group we created a series of infographics to be shared at the Chai & Chat events and on social media. These infographics share information and tips on common mental health problems. 15 ## ➢ **Publications** Supporting Ethnic Minority Populations Post Covid-19: Recommendations from the South Asian Health Foundation This review provides an overview of evidence on the long-term impacts of Covid-19, and of the disruption to healthcare and economic systems. It also makes much needed recommendations on how best to manage this impact for ethnic minority populations in the short and medium term. View review 16 ## ➢ **Chai and Chat Mental Health Event** We hosted an interactive talk discussing mental health and how we can keep our minds healthy after the pandemic. The session covered common problems such as depression and anxiety and we talked about the steps we can take to look after our mental health. 17 ## ➢ **South Asian Health Foundation Activity** Over the last couple of years, SAHF’s reputation and reach have dramatically increased as demonstrated by the number of support requests we have received year on year. The support requests came from other Universities, community groups, NHS Trusts, charity groups and industry partners and have varied in nature. ## ➢ **DVD** Meri Baatein/Inner Voices DVD, launched at the annual conference in October 2016, continued to be used at community engagement meetings to great effect. ‘Meri Baatein’ or Inner Voices captures real conversations of people with diabetes, as reflected upon themselves. SAHF continues to distribute copies of this excellent health promotion DVD. ## ➢ **Walk in the Park Community Event** We continued to host, socially distanced, community based health promotion with our ‘walk in the park’ events to encourage physical exercise and to improve health and to significantly reduce risk of illnesses such as Type 2 diabetes, heart disease, stroke or cancer. Dr Amal Lad has been exemplary in leading this community activity and every week, leads a community walk event in Walsall, come rain or shine. These efforts were all the more important due to the pandemic and outdoor spaces being deemed safe. ## ➢ **Media and Communications** **----- Start of picture text -----**

18 ## **Future activities** - Forge links across the health and social care spectrum to address health inequality - Continue addressing areas of need in delivering high quality community grassroots education sessions - Raise funds for SAHF through industry and community engagement - Source funding for Educational resources for Mental Health Awareness - Bespoke Event in January/February 2023 - Update the _'Diabetes UK and SAHF recommendations on diabetes research priorities for British South Asians'_ - Engage with BAME (Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic Communities) - Develop Musculoskeletal working group and Respiratory working group ## **Final Remarks** The South Asian Foundation continues to flourish in an environment that has seen many health charities ceasing to exist after only a few years in existence. It is truly a point for celebration that the 23[rd] Annual Conference will run in 2022, at a time when there is significant economic challenge for the charity. Our conferences have always attracted the highest calibre of international and national experts on South Asian Health and participants from statutory and voluntary sectors. Our strategy has been developed and we will focus our effort on the application of research findings into clinical practice and Healthcare Professional education. We will need to become more proactive in certain specialist areas of work such as Mental Health. These are significant issues amongst the South Asian Community and require considerable time and effort to reduce the burden of Mental Health. Our work could not continue were it not for the dedication and commitment of our trustees and working group members, who continue to devote time and energy to the objectives of SAHF. In doing so, SAHF impart education and guidance to healthcare professionals, patients and carers not only in the UK but globally, thus improving the health and wellbeing of populations prone to health inequality. 19 ## **SOUTH ASIAN HEALTH FOUNDATION (UK) STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL ACTIVITIES YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022** ||**Unrestricted**|**Restricted**|**2022 Total**|**2021 Total**| |---|---|---|---|---| ||**£**|**£**|**£**|**£**| |**Income from:**||||| |Donations|**115,408**|**-**|**115,408**|**79,488**| |Other|**21**|**-**|**21**|**364**| |**Total Income**|**115,429**|**-**|**115,429**|**79,852**| |**Expenditure on:**||||| |Charitable activities|**(109,980)**|**-**|**(109,980)**|**(35,028)**| |**Total Expenditure**|**(109,980)**|**-**|**(109,980)**|**(35,028)**| |Net income|**5,449**|**-**|**5,449**|**44,824**| |**Reconciliation of Funds**||||| |**Total funds brought forward**|**168,749**|**79,797**|**248,546**|**203,722**| |**Total funds carried forward**|**174,198**|**79,797**|**253,995**|**248,546**| **Professor K C R Patel - Chairman Signed on behalf of the Board of Trustees** 20 ## **SOUTH ASIAN HEALTH FOUNDATION (UK) BALANCE SHEET AS AT 31 MARCH 2022** |**Fixed Assets**
