This webinar will bring together those on the frontline delivery of services and patient perspectives, together with expert opinion and emerging evidence.
NHS England defines health inequalities as ‘unfair and avoidable differences in health across the population, and between different groups within society’. Inequalities arise due to the conditions in which people are born, grow, live, work and age, and influence opportunities for good health, and how people think, feel and act. It can impact people in many ways – life expectancy, avoidable mortality, long-term health conditions, and the prevalence of mental ill-health.
This webinar will look at who is most at risk, what we can do to improve health inequalities, health literacy, segmentation and coproducing interventions with patients and the voluntary sector.
This webinar will ask:
- What are the latest insights, impact on populations and who is most at risk?
- What is the latest learning and data and how is it being applied?
- What more can be done to improve outcomes and lessons learnt?
