Prevention is high on the political agenda, so it is important that those working in health and social care understand what interventions work best in terms of being evidence-based and, in the current financial climate, representing good value for money.

This conference, run in partnership with the Department of Health's Health Inequalities National Support Team and The King's Fund, will look at how prevention initiatives can be evaluated and will explore what is currently working in practice.

Keynote speaker:
Sir Michael Marmot, Chair, Strategic Review of Health Inequalities in England Post 2010 (Marmot Review)

Key issues that will be addressed at the conference:
How can evaluation be integrated into prevention initiatives and used effectively to measure success?
What has worked in practice? Best practice will be shared from innovative prevention initiatives.
How can we ensure that good practice developed in small projects can be applied more widely to ensure an impact on inequalities in the whole population?
What are the key challenges to commissioners in funding long-term projects, and how can these be overcome?
What is the key learning from the work of the Health Inequalities National Support Team?
