Working together to tackle health inequalities and improve the health of the public
SIPHER’s innovative systems science approach offered a powerful framework to explore the complex real world relationships and interdependencies of diverse policies that shape our health and wellbeing.
A major £5m research investment by UKPRP – Prevention Research Partnership, the SIPHER Consortium was a collaboration of policy and academic experts working with practice partner organisations to create evidence-based products that influence public policy process.
The grant-funded period for SIPHER has now concluded - March 2025.
SIPHER products remain available for independent use and this website will be maintained and updated until March 2026.
what we do
The conditions in which we are born, grow, live, work, and age are key drivers of health and health inequalities. Preventing illness related to these “social determinants of health” requires well-coordinated policies across many sectors, such as the economy, welfare, housing, education and employment.
SIPHER has delivered new, much-needed evidence on the complex, interlinked, and long-term consequences of such policy decisions. With a focus on the system-wide impact on health of key policy areas our approach has empowered policy makers to explore novel solutions and make informed decisions.
