Public health in Gateshead
The role of our public health team is to commission and deliver a wide range of services, promote healthy living and tackle health inequalities.
Director of Public Health Annual Reports
Every year, the Director of Public Health publishes a report highlighting how the health and lives of people in Gateshead are affected by a particular issue.
The reports bring together statistics and case studies to analyse the challenges faced by local people, review the progress we've made in tackling those issues and make recommendations for future work.
