Tower Hamlets Council Director of Public Health

摘要

The chance to lead a fresh approach to tackling health inequalities in one of London's most diverse and innovative but also deprived boroughs is on offer in Tower Hamlets. Situated in the East End, the area is London in a microcosm - vast wealth in the shape of Canary Wharf just a stone's throw away from some of the capital's poorest communities. With this poverty come entrenched health issues and Tower Hamlets has one of the lowest rates of healthy life expectancy in the country. These trends have continued despite the quality of the borough's clinical commissioning group (CCG) - recently named the best in the country - and the high standard of local health and council services, which have won numerous accolades.
