Here you’ll find clear, accessible analysis that highlights emerging trends, community experiences and the real‑world impact of local services.
Featured report
Between July 2025 and June 2026 we spoke to 163 individuals in the Dover and Folkestone & Hythe districts about their experience of health and social care services. Understanding their experiences can help inform what Neighbourhood Health looks and feels like from a patient perspective and how Neighbourhood Health can improve patient outcomes.

Each report moves beyond gathering feedback, offering clear insight and practical recommendations that organisations can use to improve services. They reflect our continued focus on making sure voices that are often missed are heard, and that those voices lead to real, meaningful change.

The Marmot Principles
The Marmot Principles highlight the key social factors that influence health and wellbeing, such as early life experiences, education, employment, living conditions, and community environments. They emphasise that health inequalities are shaped by the conditions in which people are born, grow, live, work and age, and that addressing these wider determinants is essential to improving outcomes.
Marmot Places look to improve the health of their communities following the 8 principles. The 8 principles are grounded in over 4 decades of research from Professor Sir Michael Marmot.
Below, you can use the buttons to explore all of our reports and insights, organised by each Marmot Principle, to see what we are hearing from local communities.
Principle one - give every child the best start in life
