Improving health outcomes
About this event
About this event
The King's Fund's recent publication, Clustering of unhealthy behaviours over time: implications for policy and practice, has shown a clear link between the health inequalities in socio-economic and educational groups and the uptake of multiple unhealthy behaviours.
This conference will explore how we can use this knowledge to improve the health outcomes for our local populations and, in particular, how we can ensure that the health outcomes for the poorest section of the population can be improved.
