Our Data-Driven Approach

We know that following the data is always the most effective way to make an impact. That’s why we work closely with organisations to help them identify the most targeted interventions they can make.

Health-Weighted Deprivation

Our initial set of data for the Patients First Coalition draws on the Indices of Multiple Deprivation which are widely considered to be the ‘gold-standard’ for measuring deprivation.

Working with our partners, we have applied a custom weighting to the Indices so that health-relevant domains form the bulk of the measurement of an area’s deprivation.

This has then been mapped onto the new constituency boundaries that the next general election will be fought on, allowing you to visualise health deprivation in a new and convenient manner that will stay relevant in the long term.

Ranking the constituencies

It’s important to note that these rankings only show a comparative measure of deprivation. So while the data does show that Liverpool Wavertree faces more health deprivation than Wokingham, we can’t say by how much.
