It was great being in Manchester this week for #UKHSA25. I attended interesting talks on applying behavioural science in incident response; improving health outcomes in prisons; effects of climate change on vector-borne diseases; and antimicrobial stewardship in social care
So many fascinating tips and takeaways from the session. Stay tuned for the full podcast episode recording! #UKHSA25

Photo of details of session, it reads: Participants: Dr Shona Arora - Director, Health Equity and Clinical Governance, UKHSA ; Adam Briggs - Senior Policy Fellow, The Health Foundation ; David Buck - Senior Fellow, Public Health and Inequalities, The King's Fund ; Greg Fell - Director of Public Health for Sheffield ; Professor Bola Owolabi - Director of the National Healthcare Inequalities Improvement Programme, NHS England Outline: This session will imagine a future, model health system where health equity is embedded at its core. Panellists will discuss what the key levers are that need to be implemented and how our health system needs to evolve to make this change a reality. Participants will leave with an understanding of the systemic and structural barriers within our health system which currently limit our ability to improve equitable health outcomes in England. Participants will then also learn what top three or four interventions could be implemented to address these problems. We hope that attendees will then look at opportunities to make these interventions happen within their own areas of work.
V enjoyable discussion on The Future of Health Equity at #UKHSA25 yesterday.
Thanks to Shona Arora for guiding us through questions on what an equitable health system looks like, and the challenges & opportunities in getting there.
Hats off to conf. organisers for tackling health equity head on.
It was interesting to see how human health, animal health, and environmental health are all interconnected—and how addressing challenges like antimicrobial resistance (AMR), zoonotic diseases, and food safety requires a collaborative, cross-sectoral approach.
