“…..This report demonstrates that the healthcare system and those working
within it have an important and often under-utilised role in reducing
health inequalities through action on the social determinants of health.

****

services that take into account and attempt to improve the wider social
context for patients and staff.  ****

The report discusses the best ways to reduce inequities through workforce
education and training, practical actions to be taken during interactions
with patients, ways of working in partnership, and the role of advocacy. It
also includes a section on the health system, which analyses which
mechanisms and structures are supportive of actions to reduce health
inequality, and where further development might be needed….”
