Building Back Primary Care and Public Health Webinar 10: FairHealth and its programme for Health Equity Action and Learning

07 Jun - 07 Jun 2022

Online Event, Virtual

Welcome back to our Building Back Better in Primary Care and Public Health as we continue with our 10^th webinar of the series. Hear from Dr Rachel Steen and Dr Suesanne Samara from Fairhealth, a registered charity in Yorkshire and the Humber supporting health equity action and learning for health professionals.

Fairhealth officially registered as a charity in December 2020 and has grown to hosting e-learning modules, patient narratives and blogs and podcasts as well as a platform to engage students in discussions around health inequalities.

Their Trailblazer scheme supports motivated and recently qualified GPs to work in practices of greater socio-economic deprivation, supported by a monthly teaching programme. Alongside this the charity runs a national monthly programme bringing together GPs on Trailblazer and health equity fellowships with topics ranging from trauma-informed care to rural deprivation and modern slavery. To date the charity website has logged over 1000 active learners, hosts 11 free courses and has achieved over 1000 hours of learning completed.

Join this exciting talk to learn how the group began and find out how you could join their national teaching programme – or host your own Fairhealth chapter.

The talks will last around 45 minutes followed by 30 minutes of questions, and may be followed by a short meeting of the Primary Care and Public Health Special Interest Group to reflect on the discussion and review SIG work programmes.
