- Professor Sir Michael Marmot, Director of the Institute of Health Equity at University College London – ‘Obesity and inequalities in health’
- Professor Cyrus Cooper, Director and Professor of Rheumatology at the University’s MRC Lifecourse Epidemiology Unit – ‘The Lifecourse Approach in Practice: From Evidence to Public Health Policy’
Joining this group for a panel discussion on how the University is influencing public health and driving cross-sector collaboration are:
- Professor Anne Rogers, Southampton Professor of Health Systems Implementation, and the Research Director of the NIHR CLAHRC Wessex (Collaboration for Leadership in Applied Health Research and Care);
- Professor Paul Roderick, Southampton Professor of Public Health.
A live stream of the Public Health lecture from the King’s Fund, London, will be available on the University website from 17:00 today (Wednesday 10 February).
