Health Inequality Insights
The Next Generation: Health Inequalities in Healthcare Training
Episode Description
In this episode, Dr Su Khant Chei (GP) shares her own insights into how including a focus on health inequalities in different stages of healthcare training could have a crucial role in tackling health inequalities nationally and globally.
Key Messages
- People from different socioeconomic backgrounds face wildly different health outcomes — this manifests for example as an 18-year difference in life expectancy between countries, and a five-fold increase in mortality for women of minority ethnic groups in the UK.
- Healthcare students who receive specific teaching on health inequalities are more likely to choose careers in rural or underserved areas.
- Healthcare professionals can make positive impacts by tailoring their communication to patients' needs, and choosing treatment options based on the evidence for their effectiveness in specific patient groups.
- We also have a role to play by advocating for policies that support population health.
