Becoming a Marmot region: sharing learning

Thursday 9th May 2024
With Public Health Network Cymru

In March 2022, Gwent Public Service Board became the first area in Wales to commit to become a Marmot region, signalling its strategic intent to work with the Institute of Health Equity to address inequity between communities across Gwent. This includes adopting the Marmot principles as the framework for collective action.

A number of cities in England have also committed to becoming Marmot regions including Coventry City Council in 2013. An independent evaluation was conducted in 2020 of the six years that Coventry had been a Marmot City. This evaluation examined how the Marmot principles have been applied, informed future developments and provided information and insight for other areas.

This webinar explored the approach taken by Aneurin Bevan Gwent Public Health Team and Coventry Council to becoming Marmot regions and highlighted learning and recommendations.
