Personalised Care Week
25th September: Personalised Care Week
The Personalised Care Institute is delighted to announce the launch of ‘Personalised Care Week’ – a four-day ‘roadshow’ of webinars, videos and educational activities showcasing best practice examples, lived experience and education on personalised care, as well as a free headline half day virtual conference.
Taking place from the 25th to the 28 September 2023, a major theme of the week will be the role of personalised care in tackling health inequalities – defined as unfair and avoidable differences in health across the population, and between different groups within society. These include how long people are likely to live, the health conditions they may experience and the care that is available to them.1.
To explore how personalised care can be used to tackle these health inequalities and support people’s health and wellbeing, an exciting lineup of health and care experts, along with people with lived experience, will share best practice, new research and ongoing projects.
To kick off the week, a series of webinars from leading health and care experts will be published on:
