Through ADPH London, DSPH work together to address issues that can only be successfully tackled on a pan‑London basis, and/or that enhance the ability of boroughs to meet their responsibilities locally.

In 2021, ADPH London published a position statement highlighting racism as a public health issue, given the immediate and structural factors that impact diverse communities, and developed an action plan to support Black, Asian and minority ethnic communities during and beyond COVID‑19.
