To mark the end of a very successful year at the NHSA, we celebrated ’12 days of NHSA Christmas’, looking back on our achievements of 2023 and celebrating the people who have been key to our success.
On the first day of NHSA Christmas we celebrated Child of the North, which Health Equity North provide the secretariat for. Child of the North’s vision is for children in the North of England to grow up with the same opportunities and life chances as those in the rest of the country.
On the second day of NHSA Christmas we celebrated the launch of Health Equity North in April, a virtual institute focused on place-based solutions to public health problems and health inequalities. Since then, Health Equity North have co-published 4 reports gaining national attention for key issues in the North.
