Health inequalities in later life

In this year's national #ARCseminar series, we explore how health inequity cuts across life stages and places.

Here, in the third and final webinar of the series, we explore: Health inequalities in later life.

Three short 10-minute talks cover research on LGBTQ+ inclusive care, palliative care needs of ethnically diverse patients and dementia inequalities.
