Revitalising the Health Equity Agenda

享受健康和安全生活的潜力是人类繁荣的核心。保健服务、健康状况以及保健和社会保健的未来仍然是公众和政党的最高优先事项。卫生经验和结果方面的差异有据可查，而关于如何最好地解决这些差异的辩论仍在继续。鉴于最近的证据表明，经济不平等和卫生不平等都在扩大，本系列报告是将研究和行动结合起来的及时机会。我们的健康状况基于一系列生物、社会、经济和地理因素。我们出生的地方和父母的健康状况很重要。对大多数人来说，家庭收入、教育和就业机会以及遗产决定了我们的社会阶层和生活机会。这些机会也因地区和地方而异。由于公众的关注和健康对我们日常生活的重要性，媒体每天都报道人们使用保健服务的经历以及年龄、性别、社会阶层和地点对健康结果的影响。本系列研讨会的目的是重振辩论，并探讨解决卫生不平等问题的潜在行动。我们将通过将研究人员、从业人员和政策制定者从职业生涯的早期到后期聚集在一起，分享和获得知识和见解，努力实现这些目标。辩论将鼓励就如何最好地解决促进健康和福祉的许多因素进行更广泛的思考和设想。该系列包括三个为期一天的会议，汇集了广泛的听众和六个研讨会，重点讨论具体的案例研究和政策。我们将使用世界卫生组织健康的社会决定因素委员会提供的框架来组织系列方案的内容，并通过对英格兰东北部的案例研究使辩论活跃起来，东北地区的健康状况通常比英国其他地区差，即使在地方边界内，健康状况也存在重大差异。该系列将为一系列受众制作一些产出。将为公众和服务提供者提供简短的简报文件；针对研究和政策受众的长篇文章；以及社交媒体和基于网络的材料和辩论。经过36个月的活动，我们将建立一个强大的网络，以维持长期的研究项目和参与公共政策。

The potential to enjoy a healthy and secure life is core to human flourishing. Health services, health status and the future for health and social care continue to be a top priority for the public and political parties. Differences in health experiences and outcomes are well documented, whilst debates continue as to how best to address these. Given that recent evidence suggests that both economic inequalities and inequalities in health are widening, this series is a timely opportunity to bring together research and action. Our health status is based upon a range of biological, social, economic and geographical factors. Where we are born and the health status of our parents matters a lot. For most of the population household incomes, education and employment opportunities, along with any inheritance, dictate our social class and life chances. These opportunities differ across regions and localities too. Such is the concern of the public and the importance of health to our everyday lives that there are daily reports in the media on people's experiences of using health services and the implications of age, gender, social class and location on health outcomes. The aim of this seminar series is to reinvigorate debates along with potential actions to address inequalities in health. We will work towards these goals through bringing together researchers, practitioners and policy makers from early to later career, to share and gain knowledge and insights. Debates will encourage wider thinking and ideas on how to best address the many factors which promote health and wellbeing. The series comprises three one day conferences bringing together a wide audience and six seminars for focused discussion on specific case studies and policies. We will use the framework provided by the World Health Organisation's Commission on Social Determinants of Health to organise the content of the series programme and bring debates alive through a case study of the North East of England, where health is generally worse in the North East than other regions in the UK and there are major disparities in health even within local boundaries. The series will produce a number of outputs for a range of audiences. There will be short briefing papers for the public and service providers; longer pieces for research and policy audiences; and social media and web based materials and debates. After 36 months of activity we will have established a strong network that will sustain long-term research programmes and engagement with public policy.
