Let's Talk About Health Inequalities 2
Webinar: Let's Talk About Health Inequalities 2
Purpose: The COVID-19 pandemic has had a profound impact across population groups globally, nationally and locally. The effects of the pandemic have mirrored, and in some cases exacerbated, our entrenched health and social inequalities.
This Building Back Fairer webinar series provides an opportunity to talk about these health inequalities, share good practice and take action to address health inequalities and the wider determinants of health as we emerge from Covid-19. For second in our webinars series we are going to talk about: Bed, Fuel and Period Poverty and impact this has on the health and wellbeing of children and young people.
Audience: Colleagues working in primary and secondary care who will often observe the health impact of health inequalities through an increased demand for health and care services. This webinar aims to take a systems population health focus to help build back fairer.
