In this inspiring episode of Black All Year, Steph Edusei sits down with Loveness Scott, the Positive Action Lead at the North East Ambulance Service and Vice Chair of the National Ambulance BME Forum. With a deep commitment to race equity and community wellbeing, Loveness shares her inspiring journey from answering 111 calls during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic to leading initiatives that have doubled the representation of ethnically minoritised staff in the North East Ambulance Service.

Loveness discusses the life-saving importance of diversity in emergency services, the challenges faced by underrepresented communities in accessing healthcare, and how tailored recruitment strategies can make a significant impact. She also sheds light on the vital role of culturally competent care, and how simple yet effective education can bridge the knowledge gap that puts lives at risk.

Whether you're involved in recruitment, community outreach, or simply passionate about equality and healthcare, this episode is packed with insights that could make a real difference in your life or the life of a loved one.

Listen to learn how small actions can lead to big changes, and why representation truly matters in life-or-death situations.
