Introduction

HDRC Gateshead is a partnership between Gateshead Council and Newcastle University (opens new window). Our aim is to tackle the unfair and avoidable differences in health experienced by communities in our borough. Right here in Gateshead, a child born in one part of our borough could live 10 years less than a child born in another neighbourhood. This gap in life expectancy widens further when compared to many other parts of the UK.  

HDRC Gateshead exists to turn the tide on this.
