Population Dynamics and the Spatial Modelling of Health and Health Care
This subgroup includes researchers that combine both qualitative and quantitative research methods in their investigations into population and household change, and health inequalities & health care. Members of this group have devised revolutionary and now internationally renowned spatial and statistical techniques for modelling variations in health, and health services provision and in investigating the crucial role that population and demographic change is playing in shaping health outcomes for the local and national populations. Research undertaken in this group has involved analyses of the impact of urban and regional migration on human health, the analysis of longitudinal health data and psychiatric health need, health service research including by innovative use of GIS technologies and the relationship between adolescent health and neighbourhood change. The group has very well established and productive links with the NHS and health policy makers in London, and currently hosts two visiting research associates with NHS funding. The group has also developed a close collaborative working relationships with Departments of Medical and Biomedical Science at leading London universities.
