Centre Director presents at international paediatrics conference
11 September 2012
Centre Director, Catherine Law, gave the opening plenary lecture at the International Society of Social Paediatrics and Child Health’s conference in St Andrews on 6th September 2012. The theme for the conference was “evidence into practice and evidence into policy”.
Catherine illustrated challenges using the examples of obesity, mental health disorders and injuries. She showed how these were interlinked through their roots in the environment and wider society. And she discussed how research evidence could help tackle these important issues. On the second day of the conference Catherine took part in a panel discussion with the Chief Medical Officer of Scotland, Sir Harry Burns, and young people from Dumfries and Galloway.
