Improving Health & Lives

The Improving Health and Lives Observatory is dedicated to improving the health and reducing health inequalities faced by individuals with learning disabilities in England. Funded by the Department of Health, this initiative includes key projects aimed at better information access, health checks, and effective service commission. We collaborate with various partners across six pilot sites to develop comprehensive reports and resources. Our goals are to define learning disabilities, measure health disparities, and ultimately promote better health outcomes for this vulnerable population.
