Addressing health inequalities: what works? A Conference from the Kings Fund

In the recent NHS operating framework, the government identified the reduction of health inequalities as one of its five national priorities. As 2010 approaches, the focus is on achieving the health inequalities target for infant mortality and life expectancy at birth by placing the reduction of these inequalities at the centre of service delivery, disease prevention and partnership work.
This important partnership conference organised by The King's Fund with the Department of Health's National Support Team for health inequalities and their Health Inequalities Unit. It will focus on areas involving key local stakeholders in which intervention and change will have the most effect in reducing health inequalities. The conference will feature practical workshops that will share success and learning from existing projects and allow delegates to consider how best to apply methods and interventions to reduce inequalities in their own area. The event is being held on Thursday 14 May 2009, 9.30am–4.15pm, in Leeds so book your place now!
