In this second seminar in Seminar Series 20, reviewed how health inequalities have changed in Scotland over the past 20 years since the establishment of the Glasgow Centre for Population Health, our understanding of those changes, and what that means for ongoing efforts to improve health and tackle inequality.
Dr Walsh and Prof McCartney outlined exactly what has changed in relation to health inequalities over the period, and importantly what has driven those changes. On the journey to understanding where we are now and how we got here, they looked back at what the trends showed 20 years ago when Scotland’s health divergence from Western Europe (and Glasgow’s divergence from other UK cities) was becoming clearer, and discussed the detailed, comparative, UK and international research that followed. Bringing the talk to the present, they outlined the most recent, deeply concerning, trends which have seen a new form of inequality emerge, and which urgently require concerted action to prevent these worsening further.
The seminar will be Chaired by award-winning journalist, Dani Garavelli, who was joined by a small panel of respondents.
