Health Inequalities Communities of Practice
Do you work or volunteer with people who experience health inequalities?
Health inequalities are unfair, avoidable differences in health across the population, and between separate groups within society. Inequalities include how long people are likely to live, health conditions they may experience and care that is available to them.
What is a Community of Practice and how can it help address health inequalities?
A Community of Practice (CoP) is a group of people who share a common concern (e.g. health inequality), a set of problems, or an interest in a topic and who come together to fulfil both individual and group goals.
