Tackling health inequalities

Health inequalities affect communities across the UK, leading to unfair and avoidable differences in health outcomes. Systemwide changes are needed to address these challenges, and everyone has a part to play in addressing them. Small actions, from promoting healthy workplaces to ensuring services reach those most in need, all contribute to reducing inequalities and improving health for all.
We created a series of webinars,‘ Learn, Connect, Empower’, to foster a culture of innovation within the healthcare workforce across West Yorkshire. The aim was to inspire and equip attendees to embrace and drive forward innovation while tackling health inequalities, recognising that meaningful change requires a
15 Transforming Lives Through Innovation collective effort and must be accessible to everyone within the partnership.
The series successfully delivered on its objectives, engaging 177 participants over four sessions. It provided practical insights into health inequalities and innovation, offering delegates the knowledge and tools to implement systematic change within their workplaces. Through expert presentations, real-life case studies, and interactive learning, the sessions stimulated collaboration among healthcare professionals, system leaders, and innovators. Additionally, the initiative generated positive feedback and interest in replicating the model in other parts of the country.
