Welcome to the Health Equity Network 👋

Dear Network Member,

Whether you joined us yesterday or a year ago, we're glad you're here. HEN now brings together thousands of people across the UK working to close the health equity gap — and this platform is where that work connects, grows, and gets shared.

Here's how to get the most out of it:

Get oriented
Start with our YouTube walkthrough — a quick tour of every platform feature, start to finish.

Introduce yourself
Drop a post in the Live feed to say hello, and don't be shy about updating your profile — it's how other members find and connect with you.

Find your people
Head to the Connect section to explore:

• People — search the full member directory
• Forums and Groups — join conversations across 45+ Groups, organised by Marmot Principle, sector, geography, and themes like housing, children and young people, creative health, and racism and discrimination
• Projects — browse work members have shared for discussion and collaboration (top tip: this is a brilliant place to showcase your own!)
• Organisations — see who else is in the network, and add yours!

Keep learning
The Learning Hub is home to our Webinars and IHE Publications, the Marmot Principles, and Marmot Places — everything you need to deepen your understanding of the evidence base and see it in action.

Stay in the loop
Check Events and don't miss the annual HEN Conference page for everything on the HEN's flagship event.

Know the ropes
Our Support section has you covered, with Community Guidelines.

Any questions at all — we're one message away. Reach out to the HEN Team: @Alicia Phillips and @Jamaica Noferini.

Welcome aboard — we can't wait to see what you bring to the network.
