Many people still face challenges or experience poor health outcomes when trying to access health care services.
What can be done to make sure that particularly vulnerable groups (e.g. people with Diabetes and Carers) are able to access the services they need, when they need them?
Health care inequalities can occur when an organisation doesn't put the individual first and take the time to find out:
what matters to an individual when it comes to healthcare
what sort of care is right for each person
what someone would need to better manage their own well-being
At our next Assembly on the 23rd May we’ll be discussing health inequalities - how they're experienced by different people and how they could be reduced. We'll hear what the Public Health team at Richmond and Wandsworth Councils and St George’s Hospital are currently doing, and what they would like to do, in partnership with the community, to make a difference.
The Voluntary Sector Forum will be held at the same venue from 10:30am (registration from 10:00am). To book your place or find out more, please email Julie@wandcareall.org.uk or Lauren@wandcareall.org.uk
