Doctors in Deprivation Training Day: Find Your Tribe.

Good health should be shared with all. It should not be damaged by social or economic disadvantage.

Alongside colleagues from Deep End GM, Shared Health Foundation invites any GP or clinical lead who is working in the Deep End of medicine to join us at our annual Doctors in Deprivation Training Day. You will be inspired, challenged, encouraged and most importantly find your tribe of other clinicians working in areas of deprivation.

The training day will explore the challenges faced by those working in areas of deprivation and disadvantaged communities and share the hopeful work organisations in Greater Manchester and beyond are doing to reduce health inequalities and the impact of poverty on health.

Get to grips with the health inequalities that many people face, and how you can help put things right. Learn about the causes and effects of health inequalities, and find out about the ways in which GPs and healthcare staff can do their bit to make a difference.

We hope that after attending your skills, outlook and understanding will have been transformed and you will feel more hopeful in your vital grassroots work.

Tickets to the training day are free of charge.

Information from the caterer:

Allergens
Whilst great care and attention is taken when preparing all of our dishes guests with severe allergies are advised that we can’t guarantee our dishes are free from allergens. We would therefore ask that any guests with severe allergies get in touch at least 2 weeks prior to the event to discuss the options we can offer. Please note, on the day of an event we would not be able to provide modified dishes, unless it has been organised in advance.

Nut Allergy Information
When we are advised that guests have a severe nut allergy, every reasonable precaution will be taken to ensure there are no nuts in the vicinity when the food is being prepared. However, the production unit does have nuts on site and food is prepared for several events at a time, therefore we cannot guarantee there won’t be traces of nuts in any of the dishes.

This event is hosted by the Shared Health Foundation
