Project overview
NHS travel is a hidden driver of inequality: people in poorer communities face longer journeys, miss more appointments, and bear greater health burdens.
The CORDIAL Project will build an open, interactive tool that shows how transport access, carbon emissions, and health inequality are connected. Local residents, transport planners, and NHS teams will co-design and test transport solutions, seeing impacts on carbon and attendance. The tool will map transport poverty and carbon footprints in Southampton, with Hackney added in the subsequent study.
The results will support a major national funding bid and help shape fairer, lower-carbon NHS transport systems.
