Equity in access: tackling barriers to treatment and care

This webinar for Patients Association Patient Partnership Week will explore the inequities that shape patients’ access to treatment and care, and why many people still face barriers to receiving timely, effective support. The discussion will examine the structural challenges within the health system that affect uptake and adoption of treatments, including why innovations can take so long to reach patients in practice. Panellists will also consider the significant regional variation in access to care, and the impact this has on outcomes and patient experience. Importantly, the session will focus not only on identifying the problems, but on exploring practical solutions to create a fairer, more equitable system for all patients.
