Public Health England has published its Health Equity Assessment Tool (HEAT), an essential guide for those working in the health and public health arenas to apply a strong inequalities and equity focus to their work.
The HEAT elearning programme, which has been developed with Health Education England, supports the use of the tool, providing the context and purpose, outlining the benefits of using the tool and taking the learner step-by-step through each stage.
HEAT is intended to be used by a wide range of professionals who want to make a difference in relation to inequalities in their services and work programmes. This includes professionals working at national and local level and those working with commissioners or providers.
The programme has been jointly developed with PHE Centres and Regions and their wider stakeholder audience.
