NHS Providers
About this episode
In this episode of The Provider Podcast we focus on health inequalities.

Host Susan Bahl talks to Rachael McKeown, NHS Providers policy advisor for health inequalities, Christine Camacho, public health registrar at Northern Care Alliance NHS Foundation Trust and Dominique Allwood, director of population health, Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust about our new practical guide for NHS Trust board members to help overcome these inequalities.
