Legal & General, Sir Michael Marmot and the UCL Institute of Health Equity team (the Partnership) are working together to reduce health inequalities in the UK.
The Partnership is addressing the health inequalities that were marked pre-pandemic and have been further exposed and exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic and the cost of living crisis. The partnership aims to reduce health inequities because they are unfair, unjust and avoidable.
The Partnership has launched a UK Health Equity Network that will prioritise social determinants of health, the building blocks of health, as the main factor in shaping inequalities in health across the UK.  It is the social determinants of health that we must improve to have a lasting impact on population health in the UK.
