Tackling Health Inequalities - Delivering Marmot's Recommendations for Public Health

The White Paper, Healthy Lives, Healthy People, sets out the Government's long-term vision to transform the public health system. Tailoring services to the needs of the community is vital to drive forward radical improvements in the nation’s health and wellbeing. Capita’s 3rd National Tackling Health Inequalities Conferences provides crucial guidance on how local partners must work together to target resources effectively.

The Government has just announced additional funding for the creation of a new centre, led by Professor Sir Michael Marmot, which will take forward action to reduce heath inequalities in England. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn how empowered public health professionals must champion local co-operation so that public health priorities are considered alongside housing, transport, employment and education to narrow the gap.

Expert national and local leaders will examine the key issues, including:

• The role of Public Health England, the new national body
• Developing a coherent and comprehensive framework to maximise local accountability
• Introducing a new health premium to reward progress on specific public health outcomes
• New duties on the NHS Commissioning Board and clinical commissioning groups to tackle health inequalities
