Professor Sir Michael Marmot, a world-leading public health researcher, author and advocate, has been invested as a Companion of Honour at Windsor Castle. The distinction was founded by King George V in 1917 and recognises outstanding achievements in the arts, sciences, medicine and public service over an extended period, and is limited to just 65 people at any given time. Sir Michael, the Director of the UCL Institute of Health Equity, has conducted groundbreaking research on the social determinants of health for 50 years, linking health inequalities to the circumstances in which we are born, grow, live, work and age. He is the author of several influential reviews concerning health inequalities within England and the broader UK context. The seminal report Fair Society, Healthy Lives , commissioned by the UK government and released in 2010, fundamentally shifted discourse on health inequalities in the UK and internationally, giving rise to a new commitment from service providers and health professionals to reducing health inequalities and addressing the social determinants of health.
