About this action

Addressing health inequalities requires ongoing learning and reflection.

Approaches to implementation: - Schedule regular protected learning time focused on health equity topics - Cover health equity topics in existing protected time for education and training. - Involve the whole practice team and rotate session leadership to share different perspectives and expertise - Include patient voices and community organisations in education sessions - Link learning directly to practice improvement projects - Document and share learning to build collective knowledge Key benefits: Builds sustained team capacity for addressing health inequalities, creates shared values, language and understanding across all roles, and embeds equity as core to your business rather than an optional extra.
