“Average life expectancy is rising and the health of the population is improving both locally and nationally. However, major health inequalities endure. For most of the population of Gateshead, South Tyneside and Sunderland, the gap in average life expectancy between the local population and England as a whole – roughly 2 years – is wider now than it was in 1996.
In a new national report, “Health Inequalities - Progress and Next Steps”, the Government outlines its approach to hit its 2010 Health Inequalities targets, assessing what has and hasn’t worked, and setting the direction of travel beyond 2010

A group of health professionals in Sunderland are holding an event aimed at the over 65's to raise awareness of "falls" and "falls Prevention".
This initiative will take place in the "Market Square" at the Bridges Shopping Centre in Sunderland between 10am and 2pm on the above date...
The event will promote activities that older people can do to remain independent in later life and inform them of how to reduce their risk of falling and fractures. This will include a health check, advice and information from a multi disciplinary Team.
Several key organisations are supporting the day including Age Concern, Sunderland Carer's Centre, Community Furniture service, Home Improvement Agency and several others.
The poster for the event can be downloaded HERE (125k). If you have any other queries in the meantime then please call Christine Pigford (Sunderland Falls Co-ordinator) on 0191 5026912.

We look forward to seeing you on the day!

What is it?
The purpose of the NLPH is to be the central point of reference for research evidence and guidance on best practice relating to the health of the population. It covers all aspects of population health including:
* health inequalities
* health improvement
* quality and safety
* health protection
Who is it for?
The NLPH aims to provide resources relevant to:
* public health specialists
* commissioners
* academics
* professionals whose role includes certain public health goals but who are not themselves specialists
* members of the public with an interest in public health matters
We also hope that it will be of value to those working in non-health organisations whose role includes responsibility for services that have a direct or indirect impact on health including Police, Transport and Education.
What will I find in the library?
Resources identified for inclusion in the library are:
* national strategies
* policies
* guidelines
* systematic reviews and other research papers
* statistical information
* patient information
* current news and events
The National Library for Public Health is also holding its first National Knowledge Week (NKW) and Annual Evidence Update on childhood obesity from 28th April 2008.
