About this event

  • Event lasts 2 hours

The Health Inequalities Community of Practice is a regular forum for people working or volunteering on the 'frontline' in health, social care and support organisations who have a common interest in supporting people in High Wycombe experiencing health inequalities.

The Community of Practice is a safe space for those working directly with people in the High Wycombe area to learn from each other, share knowledge, ask questions and explore solutions to benefit local people based in day-to-day practice.

It is for social workers, community nurses, community pharmacists, social prescribers, health and wellbeing coaches, care navigators, mental health practitioners, advice workers, advocacy providers, social support workers, outreach workers as well as staff and volunteers in foodbanks, faith-based or community organisations and anyone addressing homelessness, substance misuse, or supporting refugees and asylum seekers. This list is not exhaustive. This is not a forum for senior managers or CEOs.

Each facilitated meeting will explore a theme and bring in those working and volunteering in communities with expert experience and knowledge and, where possible, those with lived experience.

This session will focus on understanding intersectionalities with faiths and cultures in the context of providing support for people experiencing health inequalities.

Intersectionality sounds like a daunting concept but in this session, we’ll look at how making small changes can help build bridges when supporting people with multiple faith and cultural influences. The session will be led by a local faiths and cultures expert, Peter Tate.
