Join us for the next event in the Liverpool Responds series. Liverpool Responds: Addressing Health Inequalities will be led by Professor Iain Buchan, Chair in Public Health and Clinical Informatics and Executive Dean of the Institute of Population Health. It will be a hard hitting session looking at the region’s health inequalities, already some of the worst in the UK, and worsening rapidly with COVID-19 and responses to it. The event will explore a tale of different pandemics across divides – rich and poor, young and old, BAME and White British, North and South.
Joining Iain will be Liverpool’s Director of Public Health Matt Ashton and expert academics Benjamin Barr, Professor in Applied Public Health Research, who will look at the impact on inequalities so far and likely trends; Professor Sally Sheard, Head of Department of Public Health and Policy, who will take an historical look at pandemic preparedness and Sophie Wickham, Wellcome Trust Research Fellow, who will highlight issues around the North South divide and the structural inequalities that COVID-19 has deepened.
This event is free to attend with the opportunity to ask the panel questions following the main discussion.
