Understanding and overcoming health inequalities in the North East
The CSP North East Regional Network invited CSP members to step away for an evening and spend some time thinking about how they could make your service more accessible at a free webinar which provided insight, advice and inspiration on health inequalities.
The webinar outlined what health inequalities are and specific challenges and opportunities in the North East. Delegates learnt about how health inequalities impact clinical practice, service delivery and the local community.
The agenda featured
