Tackling Inequalities conference

COVID-19 has shone a harsh light on some of the inequalities that persist in our society. With that, addressing health inequalities has moved firmly up the priority list of leaders in the NHS, the wider healthcare sector, the community and in business.

The Royal Society of Medicine is launching a multi-year ‘Tackling Inequalities’ programme in 2022. The inaugural Tackling Inequalities conference, in partnership with NHS England and NHS Improvement, will focus on Core20Plus5, an approach designed to support integrated care systems to drive targeted action in health inequalities improvement.

At the conference, our speakers will discuss how a collaborative approach to addressing healthcare inequalities and the focus on specific measurable actions can make a real difference to the life chances of many people who have been underserved for a long time.

The conference will include key speaker and panel sessions in the morning. These panels will focus on the importance of the key clinical areas and the role of National Bodies in reducing healthcare inequalities. In the afternoon there will be expert sessions, focusing on the identified five clinical areas of health inequalities and a session on prevention. These will be delivered by senior leads from NHS England and specialist leads from the Royal Society of Medicine.

This will be a full-day conference taking place at the Royal Society of Medicine in Central London, with a networking event in the evening.

Keynote speakers:

• Dr Bola Owolabi, Director of Health Inequalities at NHS England and NHS Improvement.
• Professor Sir Michael Marmot, Professor of Epidemiology at University College London, Director of the UCL Institute of Health Equity, and past president of the World Medical Association.
