The iHV Promoting Care Across Cultures Ambassador Programme was developed with funding from The Burdett Trust for Nursing. It is a national initiative designed to strengthen culturally aware, place‑based health visitor leadership. The programme responds to persistent inequalities in maternal and perinatal outcomes and addresses the gap in structured training for health visitors, skill mix teams and multi‑agency practitioners in cultural awareness and sensitivity.
This Ambassador training equips practitioners with enhanced knowledge, confidence and leadership to better understand Black women’s experiences in the interpregnancy period, recognise and challenge bias and racism in practice, and apply quality‑improvement approaches to improve care and outcomes.
The programme has been co‑developed and is facilitated in partnership with experts by experience and subject matter specialists, ensuring authentic insight, lived experience, and evidence‑based learning at its core.
