In this year’s national #ARCseminar series, we explore how health inequity cuts across life stages and places.
The first webinar of the series explores: Health inequalities in early life.
Three short 10-minute talks cover research on health inequalities in the context of maternity, ethnicity, mental health and care-leavers.
