SUMMARY:Festival of Politics 2024: Health Creators: Health Inequalities in Scotland
DESCRIPTION:VHS and the Health Inequalities Cross Party Group are delighted to be hosting an event as part of the Festival of Politics in the Scottish Parliament in August. \nBook here. \nHealth inequalities mean that people who are living with social\, economic\, physical disadvantages are more likely to experience ill-health and to die earlier. Our event will bring a panel together to explore the right to health and the barriers to access health services and consequently exacerbate health inequities. \nHow do we make sure the most marginalised in society have fair health outcomes? How do we become Health Creators? \nPanel Members:  \nChair: Emma Harper MSP\, Co-convenor\, CPG on Health Inequalities \nTejesh Mistry\, Chief Executive\, Voluntary Health Scotland \nWendy Sinclair-Gieben\, HM Chief Inspector of Prisons for Scotland \nMaree Aldam\, Chief Executive\, Amma Birth Companions \nPeter Kelly\, Chief Executive\, Poverty Alliance \nDanny Boyle\, Senior Parliamentary & Policy Officer\, BEMIS \nBook your place here. \nBiographies \n  \nTejesh Mistry  Tejesh Mistry is Chief Executive of Voluntary Health Scotland and Board Member of Sport Scotland.
