UEL Professor named BME Pioneer 2013
Leading public health academic, Professor Mala Rao, has been named as one of the Health Service Journal’s (HSJ) BME Pioneers 2013.
The list was put together by the HSJ to celebrate healthcare champions from black and minority ethnic backgrounds. The pioneers were nominated by HSJ readers and healthcare experts, with a panel of judges selecting the most outstanding for the inaugural list, supported by the BMA, NHS Employers and the NHS Leadership Academy.
The judges said of Professor Rao, based at UEL’s Institute for Health and Human Development (IHHD), ‘A really fantastic leader and incredibly inspirational.
