Homelessness, Social Exclusion and Health Inequalities Long-term Impacts of Recession #HomelessHealth14
05 Mar 2014
Wednesday 5th and Thursday 6th March
Two day live broadcast from London
The delayed impact of recession is increasingly being felt in health and social care with particular impacts on health outcomes for homeless people and other excluded / marginalised groups.
This meeting of experts will draw on important insights about long term impacts from recession in the UK and internationally, and hear about ways some services are bucking the trends and delivering improved health and wellbeing for vulnerable people.
The Digital Package Participants in this two day development programme will take away a digital package of material to be used with professional and policy making colleagues, staff induction, in service training and briefing. The toolkit will include a reading and research list and useful contacts in government, health services, academic and voluntary sectors.
