Collaborative Masterclass – All Together Fairer in 2023: A Marmot approach to reducing Health Inequalities

About the Event

In this session we will explore how the North West is rising to the challenges of Health Inequalities. There will be a focus on the Cheshire and Merseyside Marmot programme, what progress has been made alongside learning for the future. In particular, where shifting resources might help and how leaders should resist attention being drawn to short term fixes. We will be joined by guest speaker Alan Higgins.
