The day was marked by conversations that sought to address the limited recognition of the Roma genocide during the Holocaust period, by raising awareness of the persecution experienced by Roma communities and promoting their inclusion in Holocaust education and remembrance.

(8/9) Digital healthcare can improve access but only if designed for everyone. To avoid deepening inequalities, accessibility must come first.

100

Roma Support Group @romasupportgroup.bsky.social · 10/12/2025

(7/9) 🔧 Our recommendations: • Simpler digital designs • Translation + text-to-speech tools • Visual aids • Roma-speaking interpreters & digital intermediaries • Non-digital routes to access care • Co-designed training with Roma organisations

100

Roma Support Group @romasupportgroup.bsky.social · 10/12/2025

(6/9) ⚠️ These barriers will worsen if the NHS 10-Year Plan continues moving toward digital-only access without addressing digital inclusion. Roma communities risk being shut out of primary care.

100

Roma Support Group @romasupportgroup.bsky.social · 10/12/2025

(5/9) • Just 12.5% can access online GP services independently • 27.5% need help every time • Many rely on younger family members to book appointments, translate info & navigate systems

100

Roma Support Group @romasupportgroup.bsky.social · 10/12/2025

(4/9) 💻 Engagement with digital health tools is extremely low: • Only 2% have used the NHS App • Booking GP appointments online was the most common digital activity, yet only 25% of respondents had done so.

100

Roma Support Group @romasupportgroup.bsky.social · 10/12/2025

(3/9) 📃 Our findings show that digital exclusion is deepening these inequalities. 📉 91% have no WiFi 📵 79.5% have no mobile data 🖥️ 0% have a laptop or tablet 📱 Despite most owning smartphones, 75% don’t use any online primary care services

100

Roma Support Group @romasupportgroup.bsky.social · 10/12/2025

(2/9) ✏️ Contributing factors include: • Low income & labour-intensive work • Overcrowded housing • Low literacy • Language barriers • Long-standing mistrust of healthcare institutions These challenges already limit access to care.

100

Roma Support Group @romasupportgroup.bsky.social · 10/12/2025

(1/9) 🩺 Roma communities already experience some of the worst health inequalities in the UK. Life expectancy is around 10 years lower than for non-Roma groups.

Roma Support Group @romasupportgroup.bsky.social · 10/12/2025

📘 New Briefing Report! We’ve published new research on the digital barriers and health inequalities faced by Roma communities when accessing primary care and what the NHS 10-Year Plan could mean for them.
