Oswin Baker (confirmed)
Director, Rockpool Research Associates
“The public health fault line”
Local authorities haven't truly managed public health since the 1970s. The transfer of responsibilities could therefore be a daunting prospect for many, with complex political decisions needed locally as to where to focus and how to do it. This talk will explore the cultural fault line running through public health and set out some simple ways of bridging it.
