‘Samina, Pam and the team have produced an extremely deep and insightful report of the work of Synergi, including ways of working, what is valued, what works and how, and challenges for the future including the narratives and counter-narratives that emerge when working on ethno-racial disparities. There is much learning here and a good account of the various elements’. Kam Bhui,  Professor of Psychiatry, University of Oxford
