Health Determinants Research Collaborations

The Academic Public Health SIG invites all FPH members, especially those interested in research based in local authorities, to a webinar about the Health Determinants Research Collaborations (HDRCs).

HDRCs boost research capacity and capability within local government. They aim to embed a culture of always using evidence when making decisions. HDRCs use research findings to understand how decisions impact on health and health inequalities. They also carry out research where evidence isn’t already available to support interventions led by local government and their partners.

The webinar will include an introduction to the HDRCs by Dr Helen Walters, Consultant Advisor in the NIHR Public Health Research Programme, followed by presentations from two HDRCs and Q&A.
