The Health Equity Network

The Health Equity Network – a platform we have set up to enable people who are doing great work on health equity in places and organisations across the UK to share what they are doing with others, be inspired by what others are doing and collaborate in joint working.

Join the Network Here!

Connecting with others through this network will, we hope, provide inspiration and support for individuals and organisations to go further, to find strength through linking with others who are doing similar work and to generate a movement for health equity that can be felt across the country. And, to exert an influence on national policy making.

We hope that you join us by registering as a member of the network, posting the work that you are doing or are willing to develop further and about which you want to engage with others in the network. By doing so you will be helping to develop the movement for health equity that is needed in the UK.
