Scottish Faculty of Public Health conference 2016

The theme of the conference this year was ‘Strong voices, pragmatic public health’ and a number of GCPH staff members shared and discussed a variety of our recent research and project work – see below. 

We had two poster presentations at the conference:

• Using lived experience of Gorbals residents to advise a neighbourhood approach aimed at reducing inequalities
  Lizzie Leman
• Animating Assets: Appreciating the strengths and unlocking the potential of local communities as a means to improving health and wellbeing
  Jennifer McLean and Valerie McNeice

We also had four oral presentations at the conference:

• History, politics and vulnerability: explaining excess mortality in Scotland and Glasgow
  David Walsh
• Alcohol use across retirement: Ritual and routine as protection from harmful consumption
  Pete Seaman
