Strengthening Research for a Healthier Glasgow
NIHR Health Determinants Research Collaborations (HDRC) enable local authorities to embed a culture of evidence-based decision-making in public health. At HDRC Glasgow, we bring evidence into action to tackle health inequalities and improve wellbeing across the city.
Building Bridges Between Research, Policy and Practice
"By working together, we can help make a lasting impact on the health and wellbeing of the people of Glasgow while fostering a healthier future for all." - Emilia Crighton, Director for Public Health at NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde.
Building a Fairer, Healthier Future
Glasgow faces significant health inequalities. Research shows that tackling the wider determinants of health such as housing, education, poverty and environment is critical to driving systemic change. The HDRC is strengthening policy through research, data and evidence to dismantle these barriers and create a healthier, more equitable Glasgow for all.
Empowering Communities
"The ongoing impact and aftermath of the pandemic and the tightening grip of the cost-of-living challenges has had a disproportionate consequence on our most poorest communities. Our citizens deserve the very best support, and I continue to champion this collaborative research and development work that has the capability to make a difference." - Councillor Susan Aitken, Leader of Glasgow City Council.
