In this webinar, the authors of Let's Talk: Determinants of health will describe the structural, social and ecological determinants of health and reflect on the wider forces and systems that interact with the conditions of daily life to create health inequities. A tree metaphor will be used to convey these terms and move from understanding to reflection to application of practices to address the underlying drivers of health inequities. This is a foundational learning opportunity, and it will be of interest to anyone working within or with health sectors, or who is interested in the underlying drivers and structural determinants of health and health equity. |
