[Webinar] Advancing health equity in organizations and systems using frameworks as a tool

While much is known about the existence of health inequities and the underlying structural drivers, less is known about how to orient public health organizations and systems to centre and advance health equity.  

Recognizing that there are many barriers to this work, health equity frameworks are one tool that public health practitioners, decisionmakers and policymakers can use to advance health equity action.  

This webinar will present results of a 2023 review of the literature which identified 47 actionable health equity frameworks. Key themes about co-creation, use and implementation of frameworks were identified by public health practitioners and will be highlighted in this session.  

In this webinar, panelists from three organizations, a local public health unit in Ontario, a provincial health agency in Nova Scotia, and a state health and wellbeing agency in Queensland, Australia, will share their practical stories about laying the groundwork and implementing health equity frameworks. They will highlight opportunities and challenges experienced.   

Webinar participants will gain insights from both the NCCDH’s work of reviewing the literature on frameworks, and practice-based evidence on frameworks and strategies to support their implementation.

This webinar will be of interest to: 

• Public health practitioners 
• Public health leaders 
• Health equity practitioners and leaders working in public health and healthcare  
• Policymakers  
• Students

WEBINAR OBJECTIVES:

• Advance knowledge about health equity frameworks and how they can be used to action health equity in organizations and systems       
• Engage with panelist stories of co-creation and use of health equity frameworks to make concrete change in varied organizational contexts

Time: 11:30 - 1:00 pm (EST)
