Come an hear Helena Hansen talk about her spellbinding work on structural competency in medical settings to reduce the socio-economic drivers of health inequalities. The structural competency framework helps to problematise unexamined assumptions, attitudes and biases underlying the widely used concept of cultural competency. Best wishesAna
The Centre for Health Inequalities Research at Lancaster University is pleased to invite you to a seminar on
Structural Competency:
New Medicine for the Inequalities that are Making Us Sick
Prof. Helena Hansen, New York University
Wednesday 29th May 2019, 16:30-18:30
LEC 1 Biology Lecture Theatre
Abstract
U.S. medical schools and clinical practitioners are belatedly recognizing the importance of social determinants of health and the structural drivers of patient outcomes. Yet, the question of how clinical practitioners can act to improve their patients' health on levels above the individual patient visit - through collaborations with community organizations, non-health sectors such as law enforcement, housing and schools, as well as with policy makers, is not trivial. This talk describes a movement in the U.S. to identify approaches to structural intervention among clinicians who can bring their symbolic capital to bear in identifying neighbourhood, institutional, and policy level health interventions through collaboration with community members and across specialties.
