How can we, as leaders, ensure that society’s most marginalised gain fairer health outcomes? The reasons behind widening health inequalities are complex and multifaceted but they ultimately lead to worse health outcomes and shorter lives for those facing social, economic, and physical disadvantages. This event will bring together a panel of leaders ready to challenge the barriers to health and unify our commitment to equity. How do we shift from simply managing health issues to proactively leading as ‘Health Creators’ for lasting change?
Our event will bring together third sector leaders to discuss health inequalities and how we can re-frame the role of the sector as vital.
Join us for a lively and interactive discussion to challenge and inspire.
9.30am- 10.30 am The Moorfoot Suite, Wednesday 5th February 2025, EICC, Edinburgh
