Emotional #CochraneLecture with Dr Margaret McCartney St. Andrew's on #evidence #population and it’s #individuals commenting on the state of #NHS and public health policy

Yesterday Ang Broadbridge mentioned the importance of hospitality in research. I think we should also consider humanity. We’re humans first, scientists/doctors/policymakers second. Sorry for being cheesy. Final day conference tiredness is setting in… 😴 #ssm2023

Thank you to honorary Society for Social Medicine & Population Health member Raj Bhopal for flagging how lovely it was to see emotion in the talk by Margaret McCartney. We also saw this yesterday from Emma Adams in her contribution to the plenary panel on co-production. These are emotional topics! #ssm2023

We had Dorina Cadar presenting the associations between #stress #CHD and #dementia based on English Longitudinal Study of Ageing. Higher #allostaticload linked to increased risk of #CHD in #English older adults
