December 2014. The Brighton declaration: the value of non-communicable disease modelling in population health sciences The Brighton declaration arose out of a one day workshop held in Brighton in September 2013 as part of the Society for Social Medicine annual conference. The workshop convened UK based non-communicable disease modellers to discuss the challenges and opportunities for non-communicable disease modelling in the UK. The declaration describes the value and importance of non-communicable disease modelling, both for research and for informing health policy. The declaration also describes challenges and issues for non-communicable disease modelling. The declaration has been endorsed by many non-communicable disease modellers in the UK. This article, written by the UKHF modelling department, discusses the declaration. Back to our work ← October 2014. Risk factor based modelling for Public Health England September 2015.
