These are the slides from the The Fairer Practice conference: Turning commitment into action that took place on Wednesday 24 June 2026. These slides will be available to view until 7 January 2027 and are only available to those who registered for the event.
Health inequalities are not abstract. They are felt every day in general practice — in late diagnoses, unmet need, repeated non-attendance, and patients navigating systems not designed for them. Many practices are committed to advancing health equity, but competing priorities, limited resources, and uncertainty about where to focus effort can make meaningful change challenging.
This national conference brings together practitioners, leaders, and educators to move beyond intention and into practical action. Using the Fairer Practice Toolkit, this full-day event combines evidence, lived experience, practical tools, creative enquiry, and a supportive community to help you translate ambition into sustainable change.
Whether you are just beginning your health equity journey or building on existing work, you will leave with clarity, confidence and a practical action plan tailored to your context.
In this conference, we will explore:
- The recently launched RCGP Fairer Practice Toolkit: practical roadmap with real examples
- Women’s health & cultural inequities
- Geographic inequities: rural & coastal challenges
- Addressing missed appointments & patient disengagement
- Creative enquiry: new ways to reflect & solve problems
- Adolescent care & digital confidentiality
- Reasonable adjustments & trauma-informed care
- Neuroaffirmative practice for patients & staff
- Health for people with learning disabilities
- Action planning & joining the Fairer Practice community
This is not about doing more. It's about doing what matters, what works, and what changes outcomes - for the patients who need it most.
