Improving Health and Wellbeing: The Opportunities for Public Health Scotland

Save the Date – Parliamentary Discussion and Reception – 31 March 2020

 ‘Good afternoon,

The Royal Society of Edinburgh and The Physiological Society are jointly holding a Parliamentary Discussion and Reception, hosted by Lewis Macdonald MSP, Convener of the Scottish Parliament Health and Sport Committee, on 31 March 2020 from 5:30pm.

The launch of Public Health Scotland in April represents a huge shift in Scotland’s approach to public health. This panel discussion at the Scottish Parliament will look to ensure we harness the opportunity of this new body, and also that public health guidance is informed by the latest research.

The discussion will involve a range of public health professionals, including those who are leading Public Health Scotland. Attendees will have the chance to put their questions and comments to the speakers, before the event closes with a drinks reception enabling attendees to network more informally.

Invited speakers include the following organisations:

Scottish Government

Public Health Scotland

COSLA
