Being a Marmot Trust

To achieve our strategic ambition of improved population health, ELFT worked with the UCL Institute of Health Equity to become the first NHS ‘Marmot Trust’, and test the boundaries of what an NHS Trust can do to tackle some of the drivers of poor health, such as poverty and unemployment

Anchor programme

To date, the focus of the anchor programme at ELFT has been on embedding these social values into procurement
