| Timing | The problem | The intervention |
| Immediate | Physician implicit bias | Training: school, medical school and through working lives |
| Inadequate health awareness from BAME communities | Linguistically and culturally appropriate, community-targeted public health messaging | |
| Medium term | Physician implicit bias | Training: school, medical school and through working lives |
| Patient behaviours | Training and education via places of worship and community organisations in languages they understand | |
| Poor representation of ethnic minorities in research | Development of research and clinical trials that reflect racial, ethnic and socioeconomic diversity. | |
| Long term | Address socioeconomic determinants of health | Investment in communities |
| Lack of trust and understanding in healthcare providers | Foster pipeline of physicians reflective of the ethnicities they treat |
