Tuesday 9th March, The Congress Centre, London
England’s health inequalities pose a growing challenge for all of us. Addressing health inequalities is now one of the top priorities for the NHS. Professor Sir Michael Marmot was asked to lead a Strategic Review to develop a joint approach to tackling health inequalities. This conference will give you the opportunity to hear from Sir Michael more about the Review’s findings and recommendations. It will provide a unique opportunity to consider the essential role of Third Sector organisations to addressing the problems.
During the day you will have the chance to discuss with colleagues from across the sector some of the specific challenges we face and how the Marmot Report can help your organisation’s work.
You will have the opportunity to learn from keynote speakers as well as having the change to attend two interactive workshops during the day to discuss issues in depth.
The event has been organised by the Department of Health’s Strategic Partners, a wide ranging group of third sector organisations working with the Department to strengthen links between it and the sector.
The event will:
- Raise awareness among the third sector of the health inequalities challenge
- Disseminate findings and recommendations from the Marmot Report
- Identify some of the cross cutting issues of particular relevance to the sector
- Provide a forum to develop understanding of the role of the Third Sector in addressing health inequalities
- Help third sector organisations understand how the Marmot Report can support their work.
