Quote from Professor Dame Nicky Cullum, with a portrait photograph o a yellow background. Quote says 'How we lead our lives, the places in which we live, and the services that we interact with all impact on how healthy we are. Our health is, in large part, determined by our circumstances, and all too often those circumstances are unevenly and unfairly experienced across society. Reducing these inequalities would lead to a fairer and healthier world for us all."

Over the next few weeks we are going to be sharing insights from across @manchester.ac.uk on why we are committed to tackling #healthinequalities, and highlight some of the research that is going on to identify how we can #makeadifference and move towards #fairerhealthforall.

I haven't found all of our people on here yet, but I know that @olademk.bsky.social and @ctemenos.bsky.social are both here, and they are great, so check them out for some of the brilliant research on inequalities coming out of Manchester.

Hello! Having ignored the other place for longer than I can remember, it is time for somewhere new. I'll mostly be talking about #healthinequalities, research, Manchester, and occasionally the perils of small people.
