The group’s aims are to:

  • identify research priorities on inequalities in MLTC that will benefit from the CNC’s national collaborative endeavour
  • promote a shift towards research that not only describes but also addresses the challenge of inequalities in MLTC
  • break down siloes between different relevant research areas (including research focused on different drivers of inequality in MLTC)
  • promote the application of an MLTC lens to existing policy initiatives on health inequalities
  • ensure that an inequalities lens is applied across the MLTC CNC workstreams
  • foster collaboration across academic centres, NIHR infrastructure, stakeholders and public advisory groups.
