The inaugural 2024 Humber and North Yorkshire Health Equity Fellowship Programme was launched in April 2024, welcoming 31 Fellows from diverse backgrounds, including the NHS, local authorities, the VCSE sector and police forces. Each Fellow has been assigned to a mentor to support them throughout the 12 – month programme. Mentors are also from diverse backgrounds, bringing a wealth of knowledge and experience to the programme.

The Fellowship will run between April 2024 and March 2025.

What is the Health Equity Fellowship Programme?

This Programme aims to give Fellows the skills they need to improve population health and reduce health inequalities in their own organisation and across the Humber and North Yorkshire area. It is modelled on and supported by a well-recognised programme in West Yorkshire.

Fellows are expected to dedicate one day a week of their time to attend training and work on a fellowship project. 

Projects will be delivered in the applicant’s usual place of work or contribute to wider joined up or system approaches taking place across the area. A summary of some of these projects will be published on this page at the end of the programme in 2025.
