The Health Inequalities Group comprises 17 academic members from all career stages i.e. PhD students to Professors, working across the UK. Group members represent many different NIHR structures and research programmes including Biomedical Research Centres, Applied Research Collaborations, Research Schools and the Research Support Service.The group have a shared interest in addressing inequalities in MLTC and contribute their diversity of expertise in disciplines including social science, health economics, epidemiology, data science, psychology, public health and medicine (including primary care, psychiatry and geriatrics). The group has a wealth of experience in quantitative, qualitative and mixed methods that is being harnessed to address key research challenges and also benefits from a commitment to public involvement and research inclusion, supported by academic leads in these areas.
Two public representatives will join the group by early 2026.
