This virtual workshop on the 18th of July aimed to explore the public's views and understanding of health inequalities. During the workshop, we explored how members of the public view health inequalities. We also explored how people feel about health inequalities and their views about what can be changed to address them.
We used what was said to co-produce resources to help bring key concepts, such as health inequalities, to life for diverse groups of people and communities. The resources will also be shared with decisions makers in the health inequalities field.
