The Health Foundation
The Health Foundation is an independent charity committed to bringing about better health and health care for people in the UK.
Their aim is a healthier population, supported by high quality health care that can be equitably accessed. They learn what works to make people’s lives healthier and improve the health care system. From giving grants to those working at the front line to carrying out research and policy analysis, they shine a light on how to make successful change happen.
They make links between the knowledge we gain from working with those delivering health and health care and our research and analysis. Their aspiration is to create a virtuous circle, using what they know works on the ground to inform effective policymaking and vice versa.
They believe good health and health care are key to a flourishing society. Through sharing what we learn, collaborating with others and building people’s skills and knowledge, they aim to make a difference and contribute to a healthier population.
