How is law good for your health? With Sir Keir Starmer and Dame Hazel Genn

How is law good for your health? With Sir Keir Starmer and Dame Hazel Genn

In this month’s episode, we speak to Sir Keir Starmer - Leader of the Labour Party and former human rights lawyer – and Professor Dame Hazel Genn - Professor of Socio-Legal Studies and UCL Vice Provost Advancement & International - to explore the intersections of law and public health, and how law and legal services can help to mitigate health inequalities.


The coronavirus pandemic, and the wider governmental and societal response, have brought health inequalities into sharp focus. There is growing evidence of bi-directional links between law and health. Social and economic problems with a legal dimension can exacerbate or create ill health, and conversely, ill health can create legal problems. By promoting greater integration of health and legal services, we can have a real impact on the health of the public, and build a healthy future for all.
