Time for action: addressing health inequalities for children and young people
This is a past event
Tackling health inequalities for children and young people has never been more important with NHS England’s Core20plus5 approach gives a clear steer on how to address these health inequalities from the top.
The cost-of-living crisis and the Covid-19 pandemic have exacerbated inequalities for children and young people, against a backdrop of 4.2 million children already living in poverty in the UK (2021–22).
As the health and care system continues to grapple with operational and strategic challenges, and there are increasing and competing pressures on the budgets of integrated care systems (ICSs). This conference took a solution-focused approach to explore how the health and care system can adapt to deliver meaningful change for children and young people, and how their voices and equitable resource allocation can take centre stage in decision-making.
At this in-person conference on Tuesday 12 March 2024, delegates were part of a wide-ranging audience from central and local government, the NHS, private and voluntary, community and social enterprise (VCSE) sector organisations, and people with lived experience.
