Information resources on Health Equity Audit (HEA)

These pages aim to inform local health equity audit (HEA) work. They signpost to definitions, guidance and current HEA practice in the East Midlands and elsewhere. EMPHO’s intention is to add further relevant content as it becomes available.

>Definitions and guidance

>Requirements on PCTs

>HEA activity in England

A national survey of PCTs undertaken in February/March 2004 provides a snapshot of HEA activity in England at that time:

London Health Observatory - HEA - A Baseline Survey of Primary Care Trusts

Following on from the survey, the Health Development Agency and Public Health Observatories undertook further work to explore barriers and identify good practice:

HDA - Understanding the barriers to completing health equity audits in PCTs (summary findings from a qualitative study)

This work continues.
