1/7. 🧵 With national govt seemingly binning a serious focus on health inequalities, there is lots that can be done at regional and local level; a national govt focus & framework would obviously help that.. but we are where we are. Some positivity follows...

2/7. There's lots to learn from past health inequalities policy and it worked, much of which can be implemented regionally and with integrated care systems kingsfund.org.uk/blog/2017/08/r…

3/7. The lesson is this requires three things: partnership, disruption and endurance. National govt seems to have given up on the latter, regional and local partners must not. kingsfund.org.uk/publications/h…

4/7. Get fully behind current #core20plus5 policy and take it further still, don't stop. kingsfund.org.uk/blog/2021/12/n…

5/7. Take it further, building on public health expertise. We see lots of great work in this space now and will share what we're seeing, keep going. kingsfund.org.uk/publications/p…

6/7. Take #poverty seriously, the #NHS and partners can make a big difference, we will showing how and showcasing more of this later in the month with our friends @CentreProPolicy kingsfund.org.uk/projects/tackl…

7/7. Finally, great signs that sustained & coordinated action can make a real difference, e.g. @MattXSutton and colleagues on Greater Manchester's experience of population health and life expectancy improvement following devolution #doitandstickthecourse sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
