Powerful speech from @MichaelMarmot at @marmotihe conference: 'We need to rediscover the public good, we need a social movement for greater #equity in the conditions that will lead to better #health for all - we can't do it alone.' #HEN2023 'Welcome to our social movement.'

It is not just about health equity, but an equity movement for a fairer country…all have a part to play. #HEN2023 @marmotihe

Sir Michael Marmot - ‘I’m asked, how is it with declining health and national challenges, I’m not depressed? Because at the local level, people care and are making change.’ #HEN2023 #healthequity

Today, we'll be tweeting from the first Health Equity National Conference, organised by @marmotihe in #Birmingham... Really looking forward to an interesting day! #health #people #places #HEN2023
