Personalised Care Week explores health inequalities
In very exciting news, the Personalised Care Institute has announced the launch of Personalised Care Week, a four-day programme of webinars, videos, and educational activities showcasing best practice examples, lived experience, and education on personalised care, as well as a free headline half-day virtual conference.
Taking place from the 25 - 28 September 2023, a major theme of the week will be the role of personalised care in tackling health inequalities – defined as unfair and avoidable differences in health across the population, and between different groups within society. These include how long people are likely to live, the health conditions they may experience, and the care that is available to them.
In England, there is a 19-year gap in healthy life expectancy (how long we live in good health for) between the most and least affluent areas of the country.
Figures show that, in the most deprived neighbourhoods, people in certain ethnic minority and inclusion health groups get multiple long-term health conditions 10 to 15 years earlier than people in the least deprived communities, spending more years in ill health and dying sooner.
To explore how personalised care can be used to tackle these health inequalities and support people’s health and wellbeing, an exciting lineup of health and care experts, along with people with lived experience, will share best practice, new research and ongoing projects.
The link below will take you to the Personalised Care Institute website where you can register for a series of webinars. The webinars are also listed in our Learning and Development calendar.
As you know, personalisation and strength based approaches are about how we work with people everyday so the It’s All About People Personalisation Programme team have been busy organising and promoting webinars and events for you to join and get involved with.
