Action for Health

Are third sector services in Cumbria meeting the challenge of health inequalities?

Join us for an interactive, in-person event 15.04.2025 Penrith Rugby Club, Penrith.

Using the case study of Emma and the cancer diagnosis, treatment and care she receives we will learn how health inequalities impact on her journey through the health & care system. Using national and local statistics and people’s stories we will learn how at every step of the way Emma experiences inequalities in the health & care she receives and how these impact on her health outcomes. 

We will then break into small groups to discuss her journey and:

• How can we all improve our services and how we deliver them and give Emma (and people like her) a better health & care experience & outcome
• What key messages our sector wants to share with our statutory health & care partners that could improve services & their delivery

PLEASE NOTE: Whilst this event focuses on a case study involving a cancer diagnosis the event is relevant to all organisations who deliver health & care or support services in Cumbria
