Poverty is the biggest driver of ill health and early death in Greater Manchester.
NHS Greater Manchester is committed to tackling this and since May 2023 they have been working in partnership with Resolve Poverty (formerly Greater Manchester Poverty Action) offering free training to staff aimed at exploring the relationship between poverty and health and the steps we can all take to make a difference.
