The UK is facing a health emergency that cannot be ignored; widening health inequalities, the cost of living crisis, and a decrease in life expectancy are affecting the most vulnerable groups in our society.  The issues are complex and there are a variety of social, structural, political and environmental challenges that need attention. Despite well-established evidence of such health inequalities, effective and sustainable ways to address these issues are urgently needed.

The action-focused summit ‘Inequalities and Health’ aims to drive change in the North West region. The event will bring together academics, policy-makers, health professionals, businesses, third-sector organisations, communities, activists, and citizens, or anyone interested in decreasing inequalities in our region.
The day will comprise a combination of knowledge exchange sessions, workshops and expert-led presentations. The event will provide an opportunity for learning and planning ways to tackle these issues, on a local and national level.
