Communities Challenging Health Inequalities

Stories that can change your life - a new publication on communities challenging health inequalities is now available.

One of the ECLN's (Engaging Communities Learning Network) workstreams for 2004/2005 was about engaging communities to tackle health inequalities. In May 2004 a group of people from over 40 PCTs came to a workshop to talk about what would help them to engage local communities to challenge health inequalities. The group decided that two things would be useful - some work around standards, and the sharing of stories about how people in PCTs have worked with local people to challenge health inequalities.

The work done on the Stories Planning Group has now come to fruition. The stories on pages 6 and 36 may be of particular interest to Race for Health PCTs.
