Health inequalities affect how long people are likely to live, the care available to them and the health conditions they experience. People living in areas of high deprivation, those from Black, Asian and minority ethnic communities and those from inclusion health groups are most at risk of experiencing these inequalities.
To mark our second annual Health Inequalities Week, PIF is hosting a webinar exploring health inequalities in the UK. An expert panel will discuss the causes of health inequalities – and how trusted health information can help tackle them. Examples of good practice will be shared throughout.
