The Institute of Population Health is dedicated to globally important and locally impactful population health scholarship, through scientific programmes and civic partnerships infused with education, learning and research in health data science, primary care and mental health, psychology, public health, policies, professions and systems.
Our institute is exploring the upstream determinants that cause many diseases. Approximately a third of early deaths are attributable to adverse social circumstances. It's our duty as a civic university to intervene and deliver actionable insights.
Our departments assemble a critical mass of population health scholarship to understand how biology, behaviours, environments, policies and technologies interact to determine physical and mental health, well-being and life chances – thereby improving care for individuals and populations.
We foster an inclusive culture that values diverse disciplines, methodologies, and perspectives. Collaboration across departments is seamless, with active involvement from the public and civic partners, incorporating varied lived experiences to enhance our education, research, and learning.
At the forefront of research into public health and policy, and in particular addressing health inequalities through action on the social determinants of health, both locally and globally. Underpinning our research, teaching and service work is the social model of health and how that can be applied to address health inequalities and inequalities within health and social care systems.
