Surrey County Council and the University of Surrey have been awarded a significant grant of around £5 million by the National Institute of Health Research (NIHR). This funding will support a new Health Determinants Research Collaboration (HDRC), focusing on tackling poor health and health inequalities in Surrey.

The HDRC aims to gather experts from the council, the university, and other partners to address health priorities through a research-led and evidence-based approach. The collaboration will focus on how lifestyle, social, economic, environmental, and other factors affect health, such as poor housing conditions, food poverty, and air quality.
