Instructions


This self-assessment tool is designed to be used alongside the Reducing Health Inequalities Guide for NHS Trust Board Members. The tool contains 25 questions across 4 domains:

  • Building public health capacity and capability
  • Data insight, evidence and evaluation
  • Strategic leadership and accountability
  • Systems partnerships

When you are ready to start, click the 'Start Assessment' button below and answer each question as either 'yes', 'no' or 'partial'. You may choose 'partial' instead of 'yes' if you have begun this work, e.g. with one staff group or as a one-off event, but it is not yet embedded in the Trust.

The tool will provide a score and maturity rating for your Trust's position in each of these domains.

When you have completed your answers, click on the 'Scoring' button. The 'Report' section gives bespoke suggestions for health inequalities objectives your trust may wish to choose based on your responses.
