We all want to live longer, healthier lives, but how level is the playing field?
It is a widely acknowledged injustice that access to money, housing and schooling, or lack thereof, can fundamentally shape a person’s health outcomes. The conditions in which we are born, grow, live, work and age can impact our health and wellbeing, for better or worse.
Passionate and visionary health pioneers are working to change that so we can all live longer, better.
Join us as we assemble a panel of world-leading researchers and healthcare professionals to discuss how some of their scientific advances, innovations and new approaches are revolutionising and democratising health care.
Hear from University of Nottingham alumni, experts and leaders about how they are tackling some of the world’s biggest health challenges including cancer, dementia, maternal/neonatal healthcare, antimicrobial resistance and more, to transform the health outcomes of the people of our city, our nation and across the world.
