Rising demand and costs have put the NHS and workforce under immense strain - improving health and reducing inequalities is more important than ever. And, of course, improving health equity is central to the mission and work of the NHS and all those working in it.
In this video Jacquie White - Director-National System Transformation Group, NHSE & Non-Exec Director-PiF, interviews Professor Sir Michael Marmot.
The work of the vanguards on health systems is discussed in relation to the UCL Institute of Health Equity resource, 'Reducing Health Inequalities through New Models of Care: A resource for new care models', which urges the development of an ambitious local health system - focusing on population health needs and good health for all as well as provision of treatment and services.
