Hi all,
Is anyone on here using data in the refreshed drive to reduce health inequalities? My work has become very inequalities-oriented in recent months, which is great – but I don’t want to be reinventing the wheel if there are insights and findings that we can share.
Also, is anyone moving beyond inequalities in access and processes to clinical…Read more-
Hi Iona,
I think there are a few bits of work that we are doing that connect with this challenge. We work with organisations helping them embed evaluation and measurement for improvement approaches into their day to day working and also provide some evaluation support.
This recent report explores the connection between work to address…Read more -
Hi Iona – if you need more about data on inequalities in clinical outcomes etc I’d be happy to retweet a tweet requesting this from you to Q’s 18k followers. They’re a helpful bunch…

Thanks Matt I will take you up on this.

Hi Iona,
We’re also looking to try and capture metrics around inequalities and the impact of COVID on national screening programmes – so I’d be more than happy to join your quest……

Hi Julie
Perhaps we could set up a phone/virtual call? If nothing else it’s useful to know you’re thinking in the right direction, which can be a challenge in itself! My email address is i.elborough-whitehouse@nhs.net -
Iona and Julie, f you feel like it, we could make your chat a Zoom that other interested Qs can join in with too. Might be nice to open it up?
For example, there’s a small, new Q group with an interest in this topic: https://q.health.org.uk/community/groups/achieving-equity-through-qi/ – could mention it there.
Let me know if you’d like to do…Read more

yes please, I hadn’t spotted the group so thank you for mentioning it. And yes a zoom would be great and if you are able to set it up even better 😉
Thank you -
We have been very interested in this area for some time and have developed a number of PROMs that address this area, such as our measures of Social Determinants, Loneliness, Neighbour relationships and Personal safety. See https://bmjopenquality.bmj.com/content/9/1/e000789.

About this group
Are you interested in how we can make the best use of data to inform decision-making and take appropriate action? Are you frustrated that two point comparisons and RAG reports continue to dominate much of the analysis undertaken within the NHS? Would you like to become part of a growing movement of people who are promoting the benefits of looking at data over time and using control charts to understand variation and the impact of interventions?
If so, you may like to join the virtual ‘Measurement for Improvement’ community – already 700 strong. Members come from a wide range of backgrounds – analysts, clinicians, people involved with quality improvement and front-line staff. We have a Kahootz site that brings together existing guidance, analytical templates and academic publications in one place. There are active discussion threads, people are sharing knowledge and experience and seeking support from other members of the community.
E-mail Samantha Riley to join.
This group is convened by Thomas Woodcock
