We are still on a high from last week's fantastic gala dinner with British Heart Foundation Asian Business Board! 🎉🎉
We were so pleased to be able to sponsor this inaugural event, which welcomed 500 leaders and changemakers to Birmingham for an evening of networking and entertainment, but above all the raising of important funds and awareness of cardiovascular disease and how it disproportionately affects the UK's South Asian community.
Our Partner and Head of Medical Negligence West Midlands, James Anderson, gave a speech that highlighted harrowing statistics, including that in 2023/2024 the NHS received one new medical negligence claim every 40 minutes.
On the subject of how Lime supports people from ethnic minority groups, James said: "We have seen first-hand numerous cases where the ethnicity of a patient has negatively impacted the care they have received, leading to avoidable harm... We all want to live in a fair, just society where instances like this simply cannot be allowed to happen. We are a diverse business with a number of people from those very backgrounds, fluent in a range of languages so we can truly understand people's own stories in their own words."
Thank you to the BHF Asian Business Board for the opportunity to stand in solidarity with you and share the crucial message that health equality matters. It was an honour to be involved with this important event and we look forward to a long-lasting relationship where together we can continue campaigning for this worthwhile cause.
Thank you to Amina Hussain for your kindness and hospitality, it was a superb evening 👏👏 and to host Tommy Sandhu, a friend of Lime Solicitors, you were incredible!
