    LARCH Learning Event: Data, Ethnicity and Health Inequalities

    Data is a powerful tool in tackling health inequalities and shaping interventions that improve people’s lives. Despite challenges with the quality of ethnicity data, it remains essential for understanding and addressing disparities in health. This event focuses on how we can use ethnicity data more effectively to create targeted solutions and drive better health outcomes for Black, Asian, and minoritised ethnic Londoners.

    Who is this event for?

    This event is for those in the health and social care sector, and working on health and wellbeing issues: including integrated care systems, public health, and especially middle management and leaders.
