How to Manage: Childhood Poverty (online)

Date: 11 March 2026 – 11 March 2026
Time: 09.00 – 16.30

Poverty has a significant impact on communities across the country, with over 14 million people affected by poverty, including 71% of working households and 42% of families with three or more children particularly affected. With increasing healthcare inequalities experienced by those living in poverty, it is imperative that as healthcare providers we can ensure that our services meet everyone’s needs. This one-day course looks at the causes and consequences of child poverty as well as the link between poverty and health inequalities. You will hear from clinicians whose service has been ‘poverty-proofed’ and the impact it has had.

When recording the activity, delegates should focus on the reflection and detail the following:

  • What did you learn?
  • What effect has/will the learning had/have on your current practice?
