Health Inequalities
Our Health Inequalities research is focused on the persistent and unfair gaps in health and wellbeing between different groups in society, how to identify their causes and how to reduce them.
Our Ambition
We want to understand what causes health inequalities and how we can tackle them, together. We aim to be an internationally recognised centre, working across multiple disciplines to push inequalities research beyond description and into successful action.
