Following positive feedback last year, the Harrow Public Health team are organising another series of workshops on using data to reduce health inequalities. Please share this link and invite colleagues within your networks who may be interested. We will record the sessions for people who can’t make these times.
Each session will be held online and in-person. Sessions will be 1.5 hours to allow some time for discussions and to ask questions. They are informal and open to colleagues with all levels of experience. Please feel free to drop in and eat your lunch, just listen, or take the opportunity to ask questions, or share your experience.
