An EPS webinar examining the concept of ‘Place’ and the role it plays in influencing public health outcomes is being held on Wednesday, November 18^th from 10.30 am-12.30 pm

‘Better Places For Public Health’s Triple-Win’ will see Professor George Morris, an Honorary Visiting Professor at the European Centre for Environment and Human Health at the University of Exeter, John Howie, Organisational Lead for Health Equity and Policy at Public Health Scotland and Professor Jon Fairburn, of Staffordshire Business School, give presentations about the impact of the places we live in and the profound health outcomes they have for all.

Chairing the ‘Zoom’ webinar is Dr Sheila Beck, Director of MyParkScotland.

It is the second of three EPS webinars looking at the ‘Triple Win,’ which comprises improved health and wellbeing, enhanced equity and environmental sustainability.

The event is free for EPS members and £60 for non-members. Click here for the programme and to reserve a place.

We are holding the first in a series of three webinars exploring the concept of Place – with the first celebrating Clean Air Day on the morning of Thursday, October 8^th. 

Our event will feature three expert speakers who will talk about poor air quality as a contemporary threat to health and wellbeing.  

Viewed through the prism of Place, we will examine the potential of policies targeting air pollution not only to improve health and wellbeing but also to secure wider environmental and equity benefits implicit in a ‘Triple Win.’
