It's a fast paced world, and we're constantly identifying new ways of tackling new problems. But it's essential that those solutions are grounded in fact and research to help us make sure we're tackling the right problems, and implementing the right solutions. To help the whole sector move at speed, we want to share as much of our own research as we can.

Action on Air Pollution: Collaboration and Public Health at Scale

(01/06/16)

Air pollution is a critical issue for the health sector. Each year in the UK over 40,000 people die due to poor air quality. More than 9,500 of those premature deaths occur in London. These deaths are caused by long-term exposure to airborne pollution with local particulate matter attributing between 6.3-8.3% towards total premature mortality in London boroughs alone. For Barts Health NHS Trust this means between 142,500 and 200,000 members of its community are negatively impacted.

Determined to change this landscape, Barts Health NHS Trust teamed up with the Greater London Authority (GLA), its four London boroughs and behavioural change charity, Global Action Plan, to create a cross-sector collaboration to take practical action for the benefit of its patients and local communities.
