Diverse Discoveries and Inclusive Insights Conference
What a day!
For those who joined us on the 30th June 2021, it was an insightful and informative day.
You can see the full agenda HERE
We heard from organisations who are leading the way in engaging with our diverse and multi-cultural society, exploring the importance of the language and communication we use, learning about the developments in genetics and how health inequalities can have a devastating impact on the lives of families affected by genetic conditions.
One of the most rewarding times is hearing how the conference has been received:
“One of the most important meetings that has happened in the rare sphere this year. Thank you for all the work you do”
“The whole conference was very well thought out. The quality of the speakers and delivery was excellent. The animation at the beginning totally captured what BDB stands for and how they want to work with partners. Very impressive!”
