Health and Social Care Network (Brighton and Hove)
Join us for our latest Health and Social Care Network event
This Health and Social Care Network meeting will be delivered in partnership with the Sussex VCSE Leaders Alliance (SVLA).
The session will focus on ‘Tackling the health inequalities experienced by LGBTQ+ communities’. Bringing together organisations working by and for LGBTQ+ communities across Brighton & Hove, the event will provide an opportunity to share learning, showcase community-led initiatives, and explore opportunities for greater collaboration across health and social care. A full agenda will be shared soon.
As always, there will be opportunities for networking throughout the afternoon. We encourage our members involved in health and social care across Brighton & Hove to attend, contribute their perspectives, and help strengthen our collective response to health inequalities.
