About this event
Understanding EDEI and how it relates to tackling health inequalities is a priority for all Healthwatch leaders, staff, and volunteers.
In the context of health and social care, achieving equality of health outcomes requires identification of barriers and biases, and targeted action to overcome specific inequalities experienced by certain groups and individuals.
But what does good practice look like and what do we need to consider when engaging diverse communities?
