The UCL Institute of Health Equity was launched in 2011 by Professor Sir Michael Marmot. The aim was to build on previous works that had addressed, reviewed and measured inequalities in health - works like the ‘Commission on Social Determinants of Health’ and ‘Fair Society Healthy Lives’ (aka The Marmot Review). Since then IHE has worked on many major reports and projects that address the Social Determinants of Health. These include a Review of Social Determinants of Health and the Health Divide, for the WHO European Region, Indicators for Local Authorities in England, Healthy Places, Health Lives, Social Determinants of Mental Health, and more.

Aston University MPH students were made welcome at this fabulous event - thank you UCL Institute of Health Equity 💕
My tenure as a Public health student has started off with a bang! I had the immense pleasure of attending the UCL Institute of Health Equity #HEN2024 conference, which focused on the social determinants of health, particularly housing. It was wonderful to see, it is indeed possible to implement meaningful community focused aid. My appreciation goes to Frances Thirlway - Course Leader- who facilitated our attendance as well as, Alan Higgins Jessica Allen -the organizing team #HEN2024 - who have created an amazing stepping stone for my career knowledge. I left that conference motivated to implement my knowledge. I look forward to the next conference!

I was in Birmingham this week for the UCL Institute of Health Equity National Conference. #HEN2024 The highlight for me was a workshop with Sir Michael Marmot, Prof Habib Naqvi MBE and Dr Cordelle Ofori FFPH, discussing the new 'Structural Racism, Ethnicity and Health Inequalities in London' report. The groundbreaking report looks at the effects of racism on health and its contribution to avoidable inequalities in health between ethnic groups. Thanks to Alan Higgins the rest of the team for a great event. I'll be back next year for sure, and looking forward to the event in Glasgow next month.

In case, as myself, you missed the opportunity to attend the Annual National Conference yesterday in Birmingham of the UCL Institute of Health Equity about housing, see the link below. Really interesting refections and some good plans to put in practice. Agree with the need of listening tenant’s voices, the trust that must exist from tenants to landlords/LA/HAs and the role of leaders to create a social change. Looking forward also to see the outcome next year of the Legal & General Fund and projects awarded. #HealthEquityNetwork #healthinequalities #Marmotprinciples
