Hafsa Mohammed (she/her)

As a neurodivergent Black Muslim woman, I recognise the significance of addressing the research gaps that exist within our society.

My background…

I have a background in global health and currently am working at the Point of Care Foundation where I contribute to the development and evaluation of the Patient Experience Programme, co-designing patient experiences and outcomes. My lived and work experiences have driven me to try to understand the gaps that exist in research and try to bridge them. Not only do these gaps in research make it more challenging for others to understand inequities, but is also a hindrance to communities who constantly need to prove themselves in order to prompt meaningful action. My work focuses on creating research that accurately reflects the unique challenges and aspirations of marginalised communities, ultimately advancing efforts to address inequalities.

Complementing my research work, I actively serve as a trustee for a local organisation dedicated to ending local inequality through participatory grant-making.

How I can help…
Data often tends to be homogenised: failing to explore the intricacies of lived experiences and the "how" behind them. I create and mobilise research that accurately addresses inequalities, emphasizing the power of lived experiences.
