Policy Modelling for Health

The approach policymakers take in addressing - or neglecting - the UK's urgent economic challenges will have a direct impact on health inequalities, for better or worse. These challenges include economic policies in response to the climate emergency, population aging, and the technological revolution.

Developing computer models to estimate how planned policies would affect people's economic circumstances - for example their income, wealth, work, pensions - and in turn, their health. This evidence will help policymakers understand how different population groups and geographical areas are affected differently by policies, leading to better policy design and ultimately, better outcomes

Through citizen, policy and advocacy engagement Policy Modelling for Health it will incorporate wide-ranging insights into these models to make sure they answer the most pressing questions, inform real world decisions, and are relevant and inclusive across different groups in society.
