North and South:

A study of health inequalities across four towns in England


North and South: Health Inequalities

People in the North of England live shorter lives than those in the South. These differences in health are avoidable, unjust, and unfair. 

This study aims to find out what causes these inequalities and what can be done to eradicate them.

Researchers are exploring regional inequalities between four towns in England; Hartlepool, Blackpool, Hastings, and Torbay. 

If you live or work in one of these areas we want to hear from you!

What does taking part involve?

We're interested in learning more about these four towns to understand what might be causing health inequalities between places in England. 

We would like to interview people who live or work in these four towns to learn about how these areas have changed over time and what could make them even better places to live. 

We would arrange a suitable time and place convenient for you (for example, a coffee shop or your place of work) to conduct an interview which could last up to an hour - or longer depending on how much you have to say. 

If you live/work in one of these areas and would like to share your experiences please see below for more information and ways to get involved.
