NGO Forum
National Conference

30 January 2008,London UK
   
   

The NGO Forum is holding a national multi-sectoral conference to bring together leading figures from public health to discuss and debate the issues around social determinants of health.

This will be your opportunity to learn more about the social factors which can lead to ill health and inequalities. Hear from experts in the UK and internationally about the underlying causes that can lead to health problems. The determinants include unemployment, unsafe workplaces, urban slums, globalization and lack of access to health systems.

You will get an opportunity to network with colleagues from the voluntary sector, health, education, local authorities and other areas and learn from each other about what you can do to help improve the inequalities in England.
