The session presented an opportunity for researchers across UCL to discuss with policymakers ways in which their work is relevant for the future of health inequalities. Conversely, it enabled policymakers to dedicate some time thinking about potential evidence gaps to address health inequalities in years to come. Attendees discussed the opportunities, as well as limitations, of new technology in addressing health inequalities.

The next steps will include the preparation of a report detailing the discussions that took place and more focused policy engagement activities in the area of health inequalities.
