Supporting clinicians to address health inequalities in practice

This report looked at clinicians ’ confidence in talking about and understanding health inequalities. It finds that most clinicians feel they haven't received enough training on health inequalities and would like more as part of their medical education. Of the almost 1,000 clinicians surveyed, 67 per cent of respondents had not received teaching or training in health inequalities within a training programme or as part of their degree, and only 26 per cent felt confident in their ability to reduce the impact of health inequalities in their medical practice.ReportRoyal College of Physicians - news
