Welcome to the Centre for Public Policy and Health (CPPH), one of the research centres in the School of Medicine & Health and located in the Wolfson Research Institute at Queen’s Campus.

The main areas of interest in the Centre for Public Policy and Health are:

• Evidence, decision-making and policy implementation
• Inequalities in health
• Health effects of public policy
• Work, worklessness and health

CPPH carries out a range of research and development activities, has established a successful European Health Leaders Programme, and works through local and regional partnerships to develop a research agenda which is relevant both nationally and to the north east region.  CPPH also offers an MSc in Public Policy and Health.

The Centre is co-located, and works closely, with the North East Public Health Observatory. It also enjoys close links with the School of Applied Social Sciences, Department of Anthropology, Department of Geography and the Centre for Public Policy and Management at Durham Business School.

The research activities of the Wolfson Research Institute focus on medicine, health and the wellbeing of people and places with particular emphasis upon analysing these issues in the north east of England.
