‘Public Health Voices’ is a webinar series, open to all, which aims to engage with and showcase the importance of interdisciplinarity in public health research and training.
By working together with multiple disciplines, and in collaboration with local communities, local government, the NHS, the third sector, and industry, we can have a real impact on public health research and practice.

Sadly, childhood obesity has become increasingly common, affecting the health of children and the adults they will become. No country has yet reversed this rising trend. This lecture will focus on why policy makers need to shift attention away from individuals and families, and address the underlying economic, social and environmental factors that shape children and young people’s opportunities to eat well and be active. It will give practical examples of policies that have been shown to help, and how research can be used to inform policy and practice.
Joyce talks about her work on women's health and Femtech, from the menstrual cycle to the menopause: no myths, no misinformation, no scare stories - just scientific evidence that shines a light on the facts about how women's bodies works.
In this webinar, we welcome world-renowned epidemiologist and global health leader Professor Sir Michael Marmot.
As the cost-of-living crisis pushes more and more families into poverty, the impact on the short and long term health of our next generation will be considerable and damaging. In this lecture, Prof Sir Michael Marmot will discuss the urgent need to reduce health inequalities for children and young people so that they can live healthy, happy lives, irrespective of the circumstances of their birth, and despite the current economic climate.
