The Health Determinants Research Collaboration Glasgow (HDRC Glasgow) is a collaboration of four organisations: Glasgow City Council (GCC), the University of Glasgow (UoG), the University of Strathclyde (UoS), NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde (NHS GGC); and two existing partnerships: the Glasgow City Health & Social Care Partnership (GHSCP), linking the Council and Health Board, and the Glasgow Centre for Population Health (GCPH), partnering across all four organisations. By integrating research, policy, and practice, HDRC Glasgow seeks to develop sustainable solutions for the city's most pressing health challenges. This collaboration brings together expertise from various sectors to work toward reducing health inequalities by promoting a culture change that drives positive and sustainable reforms in public health service delivery.
"We have a long and proud history of collaboration between the council, NHSGGC and the University of Glasgow and this new iteration is bound to embed these historic links and produce innovative solutions to health inequalities in our city." - Councillor Susan Aitken, Leader of Glasgow City Council
"This significant research and development grant awarded from the NIHR is extremely welcomed by NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde. We continue to work collaboratively with our partners at Glasgow City Council and Glasgow University to ensure the best possible outcomes for our communities and the funding from NIHR will go a long way in supporting our commitment to reducing health inequality across the city." - Emilia Crighton, Director for Public Health at NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde
"The University is delighted to co-lead the NIHR Health Research Determinants Collaboration in Glasgow. The School of Health and Wellbeing already has a long tradition of research on the social, economic and environmental determinants of health and health inequalities in Glasgow. Through HDRC Glasgow, we will continue to build on our existing collaboration with Glasgow City Council, as well as our other partners, to create new, solutions-focussed research that will ultimately benefit the communities and people of Glasgow and beyond." Professor Chris Pearce, Vice Principal for Research and Knowledge Exchange at the University of Glasgow
"The University of Strathclyde is delighted to become a partner in this prestigious HDRC award which represents a significant investment in tackling health inequalities and builds upon Strathclyde's strong commitment to collaboration and partnership working for real-world impact."
