Inequalities & Inequities In Health – The Levelling Up Debate With Dr Katharine Whittingham & Dr Hannah Degge From University of Nottingham
May 12 @ 09:05 - 09:50
In this session, Dr Katharine Whittingham and Dr Hannah Degge, Assistant Professors in Health Promotion and Public Health at University of Nottingham, will run an interactive talk for students on Inequalities and Inequities in Health – The Levelling Up Debate which aims to provide an understanding of the role of wider determinants of health and the impact of health inequalities and inequities on population health.
We will explore the concepts of health inequalities and inequities; examining the differences in the two concepts. We will examine key policy drivers and the historical development of these policies.
The session will also cover the wider determinants of health, highlighting their contributions to health inequalities and inequities.
Additionally, the session will analyse the UK Government’s response to health inequalities, focusing on the welfare state and the impact of current reforms. Through discussions and activities, students will gain insights into how these factors contribute to the widening of health inequalities and inequities in the levelling up debate.
