Operations Officer
Operations Officer, Centre for 21st Century Public Health
The UK is experiencing a growing population health challenge – an ageing society, stalling life expectancy, increasing health inequality, and a growing number of people living with a major illness.
Meanwhile, approximately 40% of chronic disease deaths globally are directly linked to just four products manufactured by transnational corporations: tobacco, ultra-processed foods, alcohol, and fossil fuels.
The Centre for 21st Century Public Health is a multi-disciplinary research Centre directed by Professor Gilmore and Professor Rutter and spans the Departments for Health, Social and Policy Sciences, Economics, Psychology, and Management.
C21PH is a global leader for public health research, working closely with civil society and policymakers to improve human health and the natural systems on which it depends at the local, national, and international levels.
We conduct policy-relevant research to identify cost-effective population-level interventions to address the structural drivers of ill health, inequity, and environmental degradation.??
