DESCRIPTION:\n	Accessing healthcare should never depend on where you liv
	e\, the colour of your skin\, or how much you earn\, but for too many peop
	le\, that’s still the reality. This session explores the systemic and st
	ructural barriers faced by patients from underserved communities and highl
	ights the changes needed to make care fairer\, safer\, and more inclusive 
	for everyone.\n\n\n\n	Whether you’re a patient living in a rural area st
	ruggling to get to hospital appointments\, or someone facing discriminatio
	n\, inequity in healthcare can have life-altering consequences. Join the P
	atients Association to hear from speakers working across communities\, sec
	tors\, and systems to challenge what’s always been and push for real cha
	nge.\n\n\n\n	Chaired by Rachel Power\, Chief Executive\, who will be joine
	d by:\n\n\n\n	\n		Vanessa Wills\, patient advocate\,\n	\n	\n		Charles Kwak
	u-Odoi\, Chief Executive\, Caribbean and African Health Network (CAHN)\,\n
		\n	\n		Anna Whelan\, Rose Regeneration (secretariat for the National Cent
	re for Rural Health Care)\,\n	\n	\n		Yasmin Sheikh\, Head of Policy and Pu
	blic Affairs\, Anthony Nolan\,\n	\n	\n		Sarah Tilsed\, Head of Partnership
	s and Involvement\, the Patients Association.\n	\n\n\n\n	The Patients Asso
	ciation will also share recommendations from their recent health equity r
	eport for tackling these disparities: improving shared decision-making\, 
	increasing access to services in marginalised areas\, investing in workfor
	ce training to tackle bias and racism\, and ensuring patients understand t
	heir rights and entitlements.\n\n\n\n	If we’re serious about equity\, we
	 need action not just ambition. This session is a call to listen\, learn\,
	 and commit to transforming care so that it works for everyone.\n\n\n\n	Ab
	out Patient Partnership Week 2025\n\n\n\n	Patient Partnership Week 2025 is
	 all about the importance of listening to patients and acting on what they
	 say. From rebuilding trust in regulation to breaking down barriers to car
	e and making digital innovation work for everyone\, the week brings togeth
	er leaders\, campaigners and people with lived experience to explore how t
	rue partnership can drive lasting change. Whether you're shaping policy or
	 navigating care yourself\, this is your invitation to be part of a health
	care conversation that puts patients first.\n\n\n\n	Register\n\n
