Health inequalities newsletter and resources launched

We are pleased to launch a new series of resources on health inequalities, which bring you everything you need to know about caring for people with respiratory disease who are impacted by health inequalities and severe mental illness.

There are links between respiratory disease and mental health issues, and we know that mental illness increases smoking rates affecting the prevalence and impact of respiratory disease.

The resources include a podcast series that aims to help you address the issues raised by these conditions and come up with strategies to help your patients; by providing both clinical tips and suggestions for changes in service delivery. A newsletter outlines practical steps that primary care and out-of-hours services can take, and signposts to relevant useful resources.
