Ako profesor geografie, ktorého výskum sa sústreďuje na geografiu zdravia, profesor Gatrell skúma prepojenie medzi priestorom, miestom a zdravím. Jeho práca sa zaoberá geografickými aspektmi zdravotných nerovností, priestorovou epidemiológiou a organizáciou zdravotnej starostlivosti. V poslednej dobe sa zameriava na vzťah medzi pohybom, vrátane chôdze, a celkovým blahobytom. Spolupracoval s mnohými zdravotníckymi odborníkmi naprieč rôznymi odbormi.
