The Health Foundation
We are an independent charitable organisation working to build a healthier UK.
Good health remains out of reach for too many people in the UK. Improvements in life expectancy have slowed. We compare poorly with other leading countries on some important aspects of our health, such as cancer and heart disease. Deep inequalities in health between our poorest and wealthiest communities have widened. Meanwhile, health and care services are under huge pressure and struggling to provide access to timely, high-quality care. We can build a healthier UK if we value our health as an asset. If we improve policy. If we support services to innovate and improve. And if we focus on the wider factors that shape our health and drive inequalities.
What will be showcased on our stand?
We can build a healthier UK if we value our health as an asset. If we improve policy. If we support services to innovate and improve. And if we focus on the wider factors that shape our health and drive inequalities. We will have a number of publications and resources on this and our work that can be read online or downloaded and a limited number will be available as hard copies.
