Following the successful launch of the WY Health Inequalities Academy in February 2021, we have collaborated with partners to spark curiosity and equip people with the skills required to understand and address inequalities from their specific role in the system.

This virtual event celebrating the anniversary of the Launch of our Health Inequalities Academy will bring partners together to explore our progress to date, share learning, and outline our continued approach toward closing the health and wellbeing gap across West Yorkshire.

Over the two days we will…

Day 1 - Tuesday 21 June: Look back at what we have achieved so far
Day 2 - Wednesday 22 June: Look forward, and at the ‘I’ in Inequalities
