The NIHR Applied Research Collaboration (ARC) North East and North Cumbria Inequalities and marginalised communities theme invites you to attend it’s next theme meeting:

Multiple and Complex Needs

Date:  Friday 11 October 2024

Time: 10:00am – 3:00pm

Venue: Theatre Space, Jarrow Focus, Cambrian Street, Jarrow, NE32 3QN

Chairs: Monique Lhussier and Tom Hall

A lot of our ARC research over the past few years has focused on people who have found themselves particularly marginalised, such as people who are in contact with the criminal justice system, who experience homelessness or addiction, as well as other characteristics working inter-sectionally to make their experiences even more challenging, and their access to services, particularly preventative services, even more limited. This event will bring some of this evidence together, to both give a voice to those who are all too often unheard, and provide us with an opportunity to share and discuss findings in an informal setting.

This free event will be co-chaired by Deputy Leads for the ARC NENC Inequalities and marginalised communities theme, Prof Monique Lhussier, Director of the Centre for Health and Social Equity, Northumbria University and Tom Hall, Director of Public Health at South Tyneside Council.

It is open to anyone who has an interest in or works with marginalised communities, including researchers, practitioners and policy makers, service commissioners and providers, voluntary and community sector providers, those with lived experience, public members or service users.
