Why health inequalities persist despite all the efforts to reduce them

This event is hosted by the Cambridge Centre for Health Services Research (CCHSR), a collaboration between the University of Cambridge and RAND Europe. We aim to inform health policy and practice by developing methods for measuring quality of care, and evaluating ways of improving the safety, effectiveness, efficiency and experience of care.

Join us in person on Wednesday 3 June 2026, 4-6pm, for the next In Conversation event, to be held at Murray Edwards College, Cambridge. In this session, Prof Simon Griffin will interview Prof Mike Kelly in a joint exploration of the topic: “Why health inequalities persist despite all the efforts to reduce them”.

This eye-opening discussion on why health inequalities keep hanging around despite efforts to tackle them. We’ll dive into the real reasons behind the stats, share anecotes and explore what can actually make a difference. It’s a great chance to learn, question, and connect with others who care about making healthcare fairer for everyone. Don’t miss out on this important conversation!

The free annual In Conversation series brings together two subject matter experts, and a room full of academics, health practitiioners, patients and interested members of the public.
