SOCIAL EXCLUSION

Inclusion Health (11th March 2010)
A new short study, Inclusion Health, outlines how improvements in health care for the most excluded groups in society can be accelerated to ensure high quality services are available to all.

Some of the key actions include:

• Establishing a Chair in Inclusion Health providing professional and academic leadership within the sector.
• Embedding inclusion health in undergraduate training for all nurses, doctors and dentists.
• Publishing new Inclusion Health commissioning guidance, which will set out how the needs of socially excluded groups can be better assessed and met;
• Describing and promoting effective models of prevention and promotion for socially excluded groups.
• Enhance existing processes and incentives to encourage service innovations and improvements for socially excluded groups.
