Making Manchester Fairer

Tackling health inequalities in Manchester

featuring

Dr Cordelle Ofori

Deputy Director of Public Health, Manchester City Council

and

Simon Watts

Public Health Registrar, Manchester NHS Foundation Trust

Manchester is a great city, but not all residents have the same opportunities to be healthy and well, or to reach their full potential. This results in health inequalities – the preventable gaps between people with the worst health and people with the best health.

Making Manchester Fairer is the City of Manchester’s action plan for tackling health inequalities with a focus on the social determinants of health.  Cordelle is leading the delivery of the action plan and in this free seminar she will provide the context of the plan and how it builds on previous public health knowledge, Covid experience, community feedback and analysis and Sir Michael Marmot’s GM Build Back Fairer Report.

Simon will then discuss the work being done at Manchester NHS FT to tackle health inequalities through its service delivery. He will share how the organisation has structured its approach, early outcomes and lessons learned so far.
