We know that health inequalities exist across the whole stroke pathway – from stroke prevention, through to the treatment and support people receive to rebuild their lives after stroke. We also know that stroke disproportionately affects some groups more than others. We are passionate about driving for change across the whole system and addressing health inequalities as part of our overall approach to Solving Inequity in Stroke.
The Health Inequalities Lead plays a key role in helping us deliver on these commitments, both internally and externally. They will give a prominence to the health inequalities agenda, building their own expert knowledge, in order to advise and support other teams and build their capability.
