Interconnecting Health and Justice
Thursday 8th & Friday 9th October 2026 at The Midland, 16 Peter Street, Manchester
Over two days, we will explore how health needs shape justice outcomes and justice systems shape health outcomes. With a solution-focused goal, we will examine learning from the UK and international systems and give a platform to the latest research aligned with the key themes of the Summit.
Key themes this year are:
- Health as a determinant of justice involvement
- Justice involvement as a determinant of health
- Health as a pathway to diversion, rehabilitation, and desistance
Legal frameworks that protect health rights - Public health and criminal justice partnerships
- Addressing structural inequalities, severe multiple disadvantage, and wider determinants of health
