Health Inequalities: an introduction

The Greater Manchester Cancer Podcast

In the first episode of a new series dedicated to exploring the health inequalities that exist in the cancer system in Greater Manchester, host Steve Bland chats to:

Professor Matt Evison - Associate Director at the GM Cancer Alliance
Dr Alison Pye - Consultant in Public Health
Farida Anderson - patient rep on the health inequalities board

Steve and guests explore questions like what are health inequalities? What impact do health inequalities have on cancer? And what sort of issues do people affected by different types of health inequality have at different points in the pathway?

We also talk about the plans and strategies to combat these challenges including, Core20plus5, the GM ICP strategy and finally the Greater Manchester Cancer Alliance strategy and ask 'how do they all fit together?'

We’d love to hear from you – what are your views on the topics discussed today? Please visit www.gmcancer.org.uk/podcast and send us a message or check out GM Cancer on social media.
