Digital Health Equities seminars

Digital health inequities are health inequities caused or exacerbated by introducing digital technology in health and social care settings.

Digital health inequities are an increasingly important topic within health research and policy, and in keeping with this growing importance, the Pankhurst Digital Health Equities Programme aims to establish a collaborative programme of research on tackling digital health inequities.

As part of this programme, we organise monthly seminars on topics relevant to digital health inequities on every second Wednesday of the month. Please contact us at digital-inequities@manchester.ac.uk if you would like to receive seminar details.
