How will we measure how well we are doing; summary of recommendations and indicators on a page

The Partnership aims to work on behalf of people living in Coventry, using qualitative as well as quantitative evidence, data and real-life stories from our partners and communities to help us to understand the scale of health inequalities. Read our Marmot partner case studies here.

The indicators and outcome measures in this monitoring tool will enable us to build a picture over time of where things have improved, or potentially widened. This will allow us to understand what local action is needed and where in the system, what has been effective and share good practice and influence partners strategic priorities to improve health equity.

The monitoring tool will be updated annually to ensure changes in the system are reflected and the tool is kept relevant and up to date across the objective areas, so it remains a useful tool for partners in the system. The Health and Wellbeing Board will be updated annually on Marmot activity and any progress made against the indicators and outcome measures in this monitoring tool. System partners will also be provided with evidence of progress made on the Marmot Priorities key priorities to influence the strategic prioritisation of resources.

Coventry’s Health Determinants Research Collaboration (HDRC) will also further strengthen our work as a Marmot city and will enable Coventry City Council and its partners to develop the infrastructure to enable us to further build our research skills and evidence base of what works and is needed in our quest for improving health equity across Coventry.
