NHS. Improving health?

A controversial topic and one that everyone has an interest in the NHS - will be addressed by the next Saturday evening lecturer at the University of Dundee.

This Saturday - 1 February - Professor Phil Hanlin, Director of the Public Health Institute Scotland will ask if working in partnership is a good formula for improving health in Scotland.

He will reflect on recent changes in the NHS and local authorities in Scotland and assess their impact on Scotland's health record.

The lecture is the fourth in the popular Saturday evening series. Acclaimed artist Professor David Mach, graduate and honorary graduate of the University of Dundee will deliver the lecture on 8 February followed by Professor Margaret Alexander, Professor of nursing and community health at Glasgow Caledonian University who will deliver the last in the series on 15 February.

All lectures are at 7pm in the Tower extension lecture theatre at the University of Dundee and are open to the public. Entrance is free.
