Clinical practitioners across the health and care sector can access training on reducing healthcare inequalities across England.

The resource complements the Core20PLUS5, which identified the following five clinical areas in need of rapid improvement:

• hypertension case finding
• chronic pulmonary obstructive disease (COPD)
• cancer
• maternity
• mental health

The eLearning resources cover these five areas, and include an additional module on healthcare inequalities among patients of sickle cell disease.

By the end of these modules, learners should have a good understanding of health inequalities within each area and should be able to communicate with patients about their clinical condition and care, support shared decision making with patients from marginalised groups and mitigate barriers in accessing services.
