Health inequalities

Partner working

We will work with our partners and communities to reduce barriers to accessing health and care.

Focus

We will work to undo the fundamental causes of health inequalities with a focus on the unequal distribution of income, power and wealth.

Prevent

We will work to prevent the wider environmental influences in which people live and work that result in health inequalities, such as low income, poor housing, low education or a lack of access to services.

Mitigate

We will work to mitigate the individual experiences resulting from economic or work factors, physical factors or social factors that lead to health inequalities.

Educate

We will raise awareness of the impact of health inequalities among staff and the public including the impact of stigma and discrimination which we will aim to identify and address.
