Marmot Town status

We are the first town to become a ‘Marmot Town’ and joins a growing number of ‘Marmot Places’, which include cities and regions, that are working with UCL Institute of Health Equity to reduce health inequalities.

A Marmot place is one which has a significant commitment to tackle health inequalities through action on social determinants of health-the social and economic conditions which shape our health-and has strong and effective plans and policies to achieve these reductions in health inequalities.

Joint Strategic Needs Assessment uses the information that is gathered to identify local priorities and support commissioning services and interviews based on need. This helps us achieve better health and wellbeing outcomes and reduce health inequalities in Luton.
