What our clients say

“I have worked with Egality over the last three years. And hopefully more in the future! I cannot recommend them highly enough. They have the expertise and skills to connect researchers to marginalised groups, which has had a huge impact on ensuring that our projects are both relevant to members of the public, and ensure that their voices are heard. They are extremely professional with their approach and responsive to tasks agreed.”

Julia Townsend
PPI & Engagement Manager, Cardiff University

“Partnering together with Egality Health has been an incredible experience! The team are very professional and forward-thinking, with an excellent approach to taking on any feedback given. They made great efforts to keep us updated on the project with regular check-ins at each stage and as partners, we felt valued in being able to provide our insight into the project we worked together on.”

Sharan K
Patient Advocate & Co-Founder of South Asian IBD Alliance

“It was a pleasure to participate in the focus group and wider consultation that Egality convened for the NIHR Bioresource. Egality facilitated the focus group in a way that allowed participants to be honest, thoughtful, and critical. I believe this enriched the findings of the research, and I certainly learned a lot from the perspectives of the other participants.”

Gavin Brown
CEO, Trade Sexual Health

“We have found the team at Egality to be professional and great to work with, both over the course of this project and in past work we’ve done with them. We have a dedicated contact who replies promptly to all of our queries, sends clear communications, and our bi-weekly meetings are efficient and effective for project management and decision making. The Egality team are subject matter experts, and their meaningful relationships with community groups have led to us engaging and connecting with people we wouldn’t have been able to reach otherwise. They have creative and fresh ideas, all approached with sensitivity and cultural competency. We would recommend working with them without hesitation!”

Liz Nash
Research Support Network Lead, Parkinson’s UK

“Working with Egality has been a really thoughtful and well-managed experience. They brought a clear, structured and empathetic approach to engaging with communities who often face barriers in accessing healthcare.

Egality showed a strong understanding of the inequalities these communities experience and worked closely with people with lived experience, community organisations and healthcare professionals to co-create materials that are inclusive, accessible and relevant. They were consistently open to feedback and made sure that the voices of underrepresented communities were at the centre of the work. I’d happily recommend them to any organisation looking to address health inequalities through meaningful engagement and inclusive design.”

Emma Quintal
Senior Innovation Manager, Macmillan Cancer Support

“Working with Egality Health over the last 3 years, most recently on D-CYPHR, has been an incredibly rewarding experience. Their expertise in engaging minority ethnic communities in health research is second to none, and the Egality team bring a wealth of understanding and innovative strategies to this important yet often overlooked area of research engagement.

We have seen a clear trend towards greater participation in our programme from Black and South Asian families as a direct result of the co-produced and co-delivered communications campaign that had Egality at the helm. Highly recommend working with Egality Health if you are serious about designing and delivering impactful, culturally sensitive, and inclusive research programmes with and for underserved populations.”

Dr Nathalie Kingston
Director, NIHR BioResource

“Egality played a pivotal role in helping us deliver highly impactful Patient Councils that directly informed our Phase 3 protocol. Their deep expertise in patient engagement, seamless coordination, and thoughtful facilitation ensured we captured meaningful insights that will shape a more inclusive and relevant clinical trial. We’re incredibly grateful for their support and would highly recommend them to any team looking to embed authentic patient perspectives into development”.
