Child health inequalities driven by child poverty in the UK - our position
RCPCH believes that health must be a core consideration in any mission to tackle child poverty and improve outcomes for children and young people.
Quality improvement (QI) can be used to improve NHS services that aim to reduce child health inequalities. Collaboration is key, and we outline factors to consider.
Prevention is better than cure, and inequalities cannot improve without repairing the inherent problems in society. We offer key principles, plus the data to support your case.
Almost 1,100 members signed our letters to political leaders across the UK last autumn, and over 100 of you wrote to MPs across the UK calling on them to intervene in Parliament.
Reducing child health inequalities is a priority for health services in all four nations. We provide a template letter, to which you can add your unique perspective, to help shape better care and outcomes locally.

Our case studies demonstrate how teams are addressing child health inequalities in their local areas. Get inspired by these best practice examples as you develop your own projects.
