Population Health: Strongest Start Conference

Join us for a dynamic day dedicated to empowering conversations, fostering meaningful connections, sharing cutting-edge knowledge, and inspiring actionable change to improve the lives of babies, children, and young people.

Why Prioritise Children’s Health?

Today’s child health directly shapes tomorrow's population wellbeing. Every child deserves healthcare that supports their development and future potential. Neglecting investment in children's health now risks long-term repercussions, including increased strain on healthcare services, community infrastructure, and economic sustainability.

Currently, 31% of children in the UK live in poverty, significantly impacting their immediate and long-term health outcomes and costing the economy approximately £39 billion annually. Addressing this challenge is both a moral and economic imperative, and the time for collective action is now.

Innovation and collaboration hold immense potential, yet must be harnessed carefully to prevent widening existing inequalities.

Attendees will benefit from:

• Insightful talks from diverse expert speakers, unified by the common goal of population health improvement.

• Practical, action-oriented discussions designed to create tangible change.

• Networking opportunities for collaboration with leaders across health, social care, education, and community sectors.

Whatever your sector, organisation or role - you have an important part to play in driving change for better. Everyone is welcome.
