God calls us to care for the stranger in our midst, to protect orphans and widows, to ‘act justly and love mercy’ . (Micah 6:8) How does this translate to the way we care today?

Given the proposed changes to the way that our asylum system works, how can we provide the best possible healthcare to those in need?

The ‘Refugees and Asylum Seekers Health Course’ (RASH) aims to equip Christian healthcare practitioners and others to:

• Improve knowledge of the healthcare needs, responses and challenges for refugees and asylum seekers in the UK
• Hear examples of good practice
• Foster a dialogue among those working with refugees and asylum seekers for mutual encouragement and support
• Inspire creative ways to engage with health systems for better provision, support, and care

The programme is an interactive learning experience led both by those who have been refugees and those who are healthcare professionals in this field. Local charities or churches working with refugees and asylum seekers will also find this day useful. If you encounter people from outside the UK in your everyday practice, then this is the day for you.
