This talk is co-hosted by CMEL and the Centre for Comparative and Public Law of the University of Hong Kong.<\/p>\n

This talk will highlight the important connections between law and health, explain how \u2013 independently \u2013 access to justice research and public health research have identified these links, and describe how community lawyers in the UK and internationally are developing partnerships with health services to address health harming legal needs.
It will describe international trends in practical service responses (Medical Legal and Health Justice Partnerships), and, drawing on research undertaken in the UCL Laws Health Justice Partnership in a general practice in East London, it will consider the benefits and challenges of integrating community legal services within healthcare settings. The talk will conclude with a discussion of where policy and research on health justice should be going.<\/p>\n
