Report: Futures Forum on Health Inequalities

8 November 2023

A whiteboard with case studies on it

We are pleased to share the workshop report for the first 果冻影院 Futures Forum on Health Inequalities that took place on听12听September听2023, and听was a collaboration听between the 果冻影院 Policy Impact Unit and the听果冻影院听Institute of Healthcare Engineering.听

The workshop prompted participants to explore their hopes and fears for the future of health inequalities and the role that engineering听and technology solutions might play in shaping possible futures.听 Those discussions allowed us to summarise听participants鈥 insights into three key areas: People, Technology and Systems.听

Attached to the report there are also research contributions cards relevant to several issues highlighted, which were produced by 果冻影院 researchers attending the workshop.听We听hope this proves useful for those developing future actions to tackle health inequalities, to anyone who is developing a new healthcare technology and also听to the clinical workforce and those adopting tools to improve inequalities.听

Going forward, we will take听these high-level insights and leverage听specific听research within 果冻影院 to tackle some of the issues found.听听

Finally, this will hopefully be the first of a series of 鈥淔utures Forum鈥 events, so do also get in touch if you have any questions or suggestions for future policy topics to explore.听听
