Despite decades of research, policy initiatives and public health interventions, inequalities remain a part of health systems. Why is progress so slow and what might we be missing? We explored these questions and more at the Cambridge Centre for Health Services Research (CCHSR) In Conversation event, held on Wednesday 3 June 2026 at Murray Edwards College, Cambridge.
In this edition of the series, Professor Simon Griffin, Prof of General Practice at the University of Cambridge and Group Leader for the Prevention Group in the Primary Care Unit, was joined by Professor Mike Kelly, Senior Visiting Fellow in Public Health at the University of Cambridge and former Director of the Centre for Public Health at the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE), for an in‑depth discussion on 'Why health inequalities persist despite all the efforts to reduce them'.
The CCHSR is a collaboration between the University of Cambridge and RAND Europe. Their yearly In Conversation event brings together two subject matter experts, and a room full of academics, health practitioners, patients and interested members of the public.
