Delegate feedback

"I learnt more about the historical impact of health inequities from Prof Marmot; the viewpoint of black people; more about the work of our partners SSSC and how that might relate to the work that my team does."

"Great conference. I have learnt about inequalities, poverty and their effects on learning and differential attainment. I also learnt about groups with different characteristics and how to better treat them as patients."

"The healthcare system needs a workforce that’s not just skilled but also supported and prepared for change. The conference was a reminder that improving health isn’t just about treatment. It starts with how we train and support the people who deliver care."
