Belfast Healthy Cities is running a series of events 'Health and health equity in all local policies' which aims to build capacity and support sectors in embedding health and health equity as a core element of organisational policy and actions.

A 'health improving' organisation is one that considers the potential impacts of its functions and services on the health of its local community.  Community planning is a further opportunity to ensure health improvement and health equity is embedded within local government actions.

This lecture will examine tools that will enhance organisations' capacity to deliver on this agenda.  It will also provide practical examples of how health outcomes have been integrated into community planning.
