So interesting to hear retrospectives of Glasgow’s health from 2003-23 at #GCPHSem20 . Those 20 years are the same 20 I’ve live in the city (and just about the time I’ve worked in health/wellbeing 🤪😱). Fascinating to hear histories, hopes and hurdles that shape what we do next.
Excellent account of 20 years of work by David Walsh Glasgow Centre for Population Health on health inequalities and worsening life expectancy in the 20% most deprived across the UK and more recent work linking to political decision making, wide inequality in UK and austerity #GCPHSem20
Thank you Glasgow Centre for Population Health for an insightful reflection to what has happened in our local systems over the past two decades and the raising opportunities that now emerge to support local communities thrive including #PopulationHealth #ReduceInequalities & #SupportWellbeing

Gerry McCartney responds to the sobering picture of life expectancy falling in the most deprived groups with some positive recommendations for action. Legislation, working on commercial determinants, community wealth building & more Glasgow Centre for Population Health Gerry McCartney #GCPHSem20
Encouraged to hear Chief Exec of Glasgow Chamber share that GCR Authorities are beginning to shift to more collaborative regional approaches to economic development.
Critical as it recognises that people across the region live, work & access services cross boundary. #GCPHSem20
It is important to recognise, name and address where power plays exist. See: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

EnergyActionScotland Google for Education Glasgow Centre for Population Health Colin Edgar Anna Fowlie 🕷 It was great connecting again, we definitely need to catch up 👍🏻
Thank you for being part of an incredible #GCPHSem20 session with Glasgow Centre for Population Health in #Glasgow today 👍🏻
Following a very clear articulation of where the problems & power lies, Sharon Friel outlines where the solutions lie - at state level, market level, and within civil society. Link to further reading below. #GCPHSem20
Bang on Anna Fowlie 🕷 raising importance of ‘implementing’ the policy we have as key to improving poverty and inequality in Glasgow.
Scotland can lead the way with knowledge & progressive policy but implementation is what drives change.
Gov’s need to address this gap #GCPHSem20
A very clear message from Sharon Friel on our current responses - they are missing the bigger structural drivers. Gov policies have locked us into 1.5 degree warming or more unless things turnaround quickly. #GCPHSem20
