Systems
Our health is shaped by the world around us; where we live, where we learn or work, what we eat, the way we travel, and how our taxes are spent. Complex system thinking can help us to understand and address the interconnectedness of the many factors impacting our health. At UCL we are exploring how whole system approaches can be used to improve health and reduce inequalities. We are exploring reshaping food systems to improve health, what works in health and social care systems for prevention of ill-health, and better use of economic and legal levers to improve the health of the public.
