Call for evidence - inclusion health
NHS England’s National Healthcare Inequalities and Improvement Programme is collaborating with teams across the NHS and wider partners to develop a framework for NHS action on inclusion health, which will distil best practice and clarify role expectations on this agenda.
The framework is intended to support leaders in national and regional teams as well as local systems to identify specific priority actions to tackle health inequalities faced by inclusion health groups. It will help to contextualise the agenda within current NHS priorities and provide greater clarity of roles and responsibilities across the NHS and with partners, to promote partnership working between agencies. The aim is to publish the framework in September 2023.
The framework will focus on inclusion health groups. Inclusion health includes any population group that is socially excluded. This can include people who experience homelessness, drug and alcohol dependence, vulnerable migrants, Gypsy, Roma and Traveller communities, sex workers, people in contact with the justice system and victims of modern slavery, but can also include other socially excluded groups.
Read the draft inclusion health principles which have been informed by a series of engagement activities and a literature review.
