Professor Dame Sue Bailey: Tackling mental health inequalities 🎙 We recently spoke to Prof Dame Sue Bailey OBE DBE FRCPsych about health inequalities and social determinants of health. As big believers in mental health support for all, it’s critical that we understand these issues while finding every way possible to raise awareness of our service so that no-one is alone and struggling with their mental health. To illustrate the issue, Sue, who travels to work by tram, told us that her life expectancy is four years more than a woman of her age living at the other end of the tram line.
