What we do

We believe the best medical approaches and technologies need to be coupled with clear thinking about how to reduce social and economic barriers to health and care. This will help to limit inequalities and discrimination, which will contribute to achieving good public health and wellbeing for all.

Global health expert Dr Mariachiara Di Cesare is founding Director of the Institute of Public Health and Wellbeing. She’s outlined how her expertise supports our vision.

At the heart of our mission lies the formation of a world-class team of researchers and practitioners in Public Health and Wellbeing comprising individuals with diverse expertise and experiences. We seek to inspire and empower research leadership in Public Health and Wellbeing and support the development of future leaders.

Our people are the basis for a global centre of excellence in Public Health and Wellbeing. We seek to be a cutting-edge centre as a physical and virtual hub for world-class research, with collaborative partnerships and the co-creation, development and scaling-up of research.

Our people and communities will ensure world-class multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary, and transdisciplinary research in Public Health and Wellbeing. Needs and priorities will be identified based on our partnerships with stakeholders, leading to high quality and creative research and innovation and multi and interdisciplinary cross-fertilisation of ideas.

By leveraging the power of multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary, and transdisciplinary approaches, the IPHW seeks to generate innovative insights and evidence-based strategies that address real-world needs and priorities. Through the integration of people, community, and knowledge generation, the IPHW aspires to establish itself as a centre of excellence for innovative and timely solutions addressing real world needs, problems, and priorities.
