Dr. John Licorish, a Public Health Consultant in Brent, joins forces with Dr. Adeola Agbebiyi, the Assistant Director of Public Health in Newham, to unpack the complexities of identifying and engaging communities often labeled as ‘hard to reach’ who are more accurately described as 'underserved'.

The Newham Health Equity Programme (NHEP) Health Equity Toolkit has been built to support service commissioners, designers and providers to analyse how equitable a service is.

At the launch, the team from Newham introduced their ‘four steps to improving equity’ model, which helps individuals, teams, and organisations through the processes needed to understand health inequalities and implement effective service improvements. 

This model combines the activity and thinking from other change frameworks, including quality improvement methods used by the NHS, but makes this even easier to understand and follow.
