Inequalities in Health: Time for Action

Hosted by the Community Development and Health Network in partnership with the Public Health Agency, this conference (Wednesday 27th October 2010 in the Hilton Hotel Belfast) will encourage debate between statutory services and third sector groups on effective ways of working together to address inequalities in Northern Ireland.  The conference will: explain the Marmot Review from a community development perspective; discuss how the objectives of Marmot can be implemented in Northern Ireland; use workshops to showcase examples of how Marmot’s policy objectives can be implemented in practice; highlight the role of the community and voluntary sector in promoting best practice when addressing health inequalities.  This conference will mark the beginning of “Focus on Health Inequalities” - a five week programme of events to demonstrate action being taken to address health inequalities and the wider determinants of health and wellbeing across Northern Ireland.  Click here for a Portable Document Format file with more details of the conference.
