GCPH Seminar Series 2016-2017, Lecture 1: Mobilising healthy communities
In this seminar, Ian shared some insights from the work of Bromley by Bow Health Partnership in East London including social prescribing, methods of co-production and work on integrating across a bio-medical approach and a community approach. He talked about a process of organisational change that they have embarked on which seeks to re-situate them as enablers of wellbeing rather than providers of health products.

GCPH Seminar Series 2015-2016, Lecture 6: How ACEs and the 'Theory of Everything' can help build healthy communities
Jane Ellen Stevens, founder and publisher of the ACEs Connection Network, which focuses on research about adverse childhood experiences and how people are implementing trauma-informed and resilience-building practices based on that research, delivers the sixth and final lecture of this Seminar Series. We are entering an age that might be the modern equivalent of the Renaissance, a new understanding about ourselves, why we behave the way we do, and how we can solve our most intractable problems, such as poverty, chronic disease, mental illness, and violence. Some people call this new understanding the “theory of everything”, a “unified science” of human development. This understanding will have a profound impact on our lives, and already is, in astounding ways. The five parts of this “theory of everything” are the CDC-Kaiser Permanente Adverse Childhood Experiences Study (ACE Study) and subsequent ACE surveys and studies (epidemiology); how toxic stress from ACEs affects the brain (neurobiology) and the body (biomedical consequences of toxic stress); how ACEs are passed from one generation to the next (epigenetic consequences of toxic stress); and resilience research, which takes advantage of the brain being plastic and the body wanting to heal. Based on this research, people, organizations and communities are putting into place trauma-informed and resilience-building practices that are already showing remarkable results, as long as those practices integrate an understanding of ACEs.

GCPH Seminar Series 2014-2015: What Have we Learned from 10yrs of GCPH Seminars and What Does it Mean for Scotland’s Health?
In the first lecture of this Seminar Series 2014-2015, Phil Hanlon, Professor of Public Health at Glasgow University, delivers a review of the first 10 years of the Glasgow Centre for Population Health (GCPH). GCPH was established 10 years ago to create fresh thinking in the confrontation of Glasgow's intractable public health problems. The Seminar Series has been one of the chief ways in which this fresh thinking has been developed and shared. He discusses what has been learned and the implications of what has been learned for the health of Glasgow. He suggests a large number of themes that matter, for example, history, determinants of health, economy, inner life, transformational change and resilience, ecology. He discusses how these themes have given a fresh perspective on what needs to happen in Glasgow.

GCPH Seminar Series 2013-14: Nourishing the City - The Rise of the Urban Food Question: introduction video
Kevin Morgan, Professor of Governance at Cardiff University delivers this lecture on Urban Food Policy. He looks at the rise of the city as a new player in the food policy debate taking the experiences of London, New York, Toronto and distils some of the lessons learned for cities in UK. He talks about the role of cities in the food system and argues that this is one of the most important topics in the debate on sustainability. He discuses how food has moved from the margins to mainstream of our political agendas, gives a 'cooks tour' of what cities are doing in the global north and south, returns to the UK to discuss the rise of the food movement and talks about new forms of food governance which are still below the radar of mainstream politics. His talk takes in developments in Malmo, Sweden, which aims to reinvent a sustainable, cost effective and affordable school meal system, the joint venture undertaken with Bristol, setting up the first Food Policy Council in the UK, the Brighton model which has a turnover of £1million p/a and a permanent paid staff. He ends his talk on the recent launch of the Sustainable Cities Network which helps cities learn good practice as part of peer-to-peer learning, raises the profile as cities as proper actors in food policy debates, and strengthens the voice of cities in these debates in the UK.

GCPH Seminar Series 2013-14: The Power of Cultural Disruption - Full Video
In Lecture 5 of this series, Helen Marriage, co-founder of Artichoke, discusses her experiences of getting art forms into the larger community rather than limiting art to a small percentage of the population. Artichoke is a creative company that works with artists to invade public spaces and put on extraordinary events that live on in people's memories. She discusses how through art, whole communities can be engaged and bridges built in disenfranchised local communities. She talks about her experiences at Canary Wharf and Salisbury, about putting the work of local artists in front of the population and using art to disrupt people’s expectations, learning to understand other people’s point of view and getting endorsement for projects from someone the community trust. She talks about various events Artichoke has produced, shows a video of the Elephant Story delivered in London, discusses the problems, challenges and assumptions made about inserting an event into the everyday life of a city, about not getting dissuaded but remembering that these are our streets, our public services, the responsibility that comes with producing these events. She presents other events and talks about the lasting effect these experiences have on people, communities, the happiness, joy and pride people have, the legacy and cultural changes that result due to spectacular, provocative and ephemeral events and argues that cuts to arts and culture funding are not the easy option they may be perceived as.

GCPH Seminar Series 2013-14: Does Austerity Harm Health?
Dr Aaron Reeves, post-doctoral researcher at Oxford University delivers this lecture on the impact recession and austerity have on health. His work looks at the relationship between politics, economics, society and specifically how these three things impact health. He talks about the evidence which shows recessions harm health but that austerity exacerbates the impact of the recession; suicide, HIV and Aids rates increase in some countries, mental health general deteriorates and people struggle to access health care they desperately need. He talks about austerity making this worse as it hurts the most vulnerable by removing the support and protection from the economic shock of the recession. In this lecture, Dr. Reeves puts forward the case that austerity does harm health but that is a choice we make and we can change how our governments respond to the recession and recessions in the future.

GCPH Thriving Communities: Alcohol Forum (Derry)
2 of 7 films on the theme of 'Taking forward the Thriving Places Approach - Learning from Elsewhere'. Eamon O'Kane presents Derry Healthy Cities and the civic approach to alcohol harm reduction. He provides background starting in 2005 when Derry Healthy Cities was established, as the city, country was coming out of conflict (The Troubles), case studies, the negative media image which portrayed Derry/Londonderry as a dangerous, violent place in relation to alcohol misuse when the statistics showed it to be the second safest place in Northern Ireland. He discuses other factors, international perception of a peoples who like to drink, positives and negatives, culturally a long time love affair, in terms of economy a positive factor, changing trends of how people drink. He talks about the issues faced when setting up Derry Healthy Cities, how they needed to find a way to get people take ownership of alcohol and surrounding issues, the leadership issues, hidden issues coming out of the conflict, the initial meetings with stakeholders. The key actions needed, specifically to raise awareness of the need to create change, the first action plan 'The 4 stages of going out', the initiatives implemented to keep communities engaged and manage carnival events. The results of this continued conversation with all levels in the community began to show in the drop in crime statistics because people, young people were engaged and involved in improving their community. The media also portrayed a more positive image of Derry. Moving forward to six years after they started, he talks about the 'One City, One Plan, One Voice' strategy, a multi-agency plan with five key pillars and eleven themes, the notion of Derry as 'a key leader in community mobilisation' (Prof. Harold Holden) - getting people to work together, realising the reality that alcohol is everyone's responsibility, educating partners on what they need to do, handing control of the design to the community. It's about building social capital and letting people feel ownership in a process where currently they feel disempowered.

GCPH Thriving Communities: Participatory Budgeting in Govanhill, Glasgow
1 of 7 films on the theme of 'Taking forward the Thriving Places Approach - Learning from Elsewhere. Chris Harkins presents Participatory Budgeting and the Govanhill Project, Glasgow. He describes Participatory Budgeting (PB), communities holding budgets and democratically deciding how to spend those funds, transferring responsibility from the state to communities, deepening democracy by engaging local people to participate in the political process at a local level. He talks about the origins of PB (Brazil) and the positive developments experienced through improved infrastructure and schools, today 40% of public sector budgets are decided by Participatory Budgeting whereas, in the UK, PB tends to be limited to small community based projects. He discusses the Govanhill Project, how using the PB model the group wanted to have a deeper impact rather than the usual community engagement and consultation. The forming of the Govanhill Community Action Group from existing community groups, the support from Community Health Partnerships (CHPs) and facilitation from Oxfam Poverty UK. He discusses the processes, findings from the pilot and the three projects which were then awarded funding - Govanhill Addictions Family Support Group, Govanhill Community Justice Group, Govanhill Baths Fund. He concludes with a summary of the learning themes and key practical challenges which evolved from the process.

GCPH 2013 Symposium: From Early Understanding to New Perspectives - Seeking to Understand 'Excess' Mortality in Glasgow and West Central Scotland
In the second session of the Symposium, David Walsh of the Glasgow Centre for Population Health talks about excess mortality in Glasgow and West Central Scotland in respect of what was known when the GCPH started, what was assumed, what was done and what needs to be done. David discusses a number of reports produced externally and internally on the poor health in Scotland compared to elsewhere in Europe when looking at post industrialisation, deprivation and poverty. Important as these drivers are to explaining the poor health and high mortality rates in Scotland, other factors were indicated which led to the term ‘The Scottish Effect’. Further research then showed that mortality was still higher in Scotland than other areas of the UK. The Centre carried out two phases of work, the first quantified the level of de-industrialisation experienced in West Central Scotland and formed the basis for finding other regions across Europe which had undergone a similar process, then undertook a detailed analysis of mortality over a number of years across the different regions. The second phase focused on broader health determinants and was carried out alongside other important work on economical, historical and political factors which provided important context for the comparison of such trends. Results indicated a number of factors but also identified that similar areas in the UK had better health than West Central Scotland, work was then carried out focusing on Liverpool, Manchester and deprivation as a driver of poor health. However, results from this work were not as you may have expected as Glasgow still had the highest excess mortality rate. What we now know in respect of Glasgow, Liverpool and Manchester is that although they have a similar deprivation profile, they have different mortality profiles with excess mortality across all sectors of the population in Glasgow, which is not explained by historical change in deprivation or the makeup of different populations. This forms the Centre’s continuing programme of research.

GCPH 2013 Symposium: From Early Understanding to New Perspectives - The Centre's Work: a Policy Perspective
In the seventh session of the Symposium, Sir Harry Burns gives his personal perception on the GCPH and policy. He talks about the success of the Centre and how its unique set up has led to this success, how the Centre has influenced policy by providing scientifically robust data. Referring to the recent Report, ‘Psychological Social and Biological Determinants of ill Health’, he summarises how the growing body of evidence reinforces the impact of poor early life circumstances, low socioeconomic childhood status and accumulation of risk factors; the clear association between socioeconomic status and cognitive performance; the importance of the individual and their interaction with the world around them as a determinant of health outcomes. He talks about inequalities being the outcomes of a set of processes and the consequences of these outcomes, how the cultural drivers of wellbeing are ignored as they cannot be measured in the same way as, for example unemployment and hospitalisation rates. Compassion needs to be the main driver of wellbeing in society.

GCPH Seminar Series 9: Human Healing in the Age of Science - the Art of the Healing Shift
What of healing? In this lecture Dr David Reilly described his exploration of what might emerge from our efforts to improve health and wellbeing when we shift our focus from external interventions towards life's innate drive to restore equilibrium and wholeness. His approach was born of necessity over twenty years ago when he was working with patients who were not responding to conventional techniques. Since then he has been learning how to help people access their own potential and expanding his knowledge of the automatic maps, that impact upon self-care, change and human flourishing. Some years in, the learning was experimentally scaled from one-to-one to the group-based WEL programme. This was put into service as an action research developmental-demonstration model in the NHS Centre for Integrative Care in Glasgow. More recently the programme has been developed in partnership with the Scottish Government and extended into a primary care setting and staff welfare programmes. Can the subjective inner life be rehabilitated from its battered and neglected place in evidence based medicine? Might the principles of wellness enhancement be scaled up to larger health care systems and population health? Dr Reilly outlined promising preliminary results from this latest development of the programme and considered the potential to foster wellbeing and flourishing in everyday life. The ideas behind the programme have formed an integral and important part of the Cultural Influence on Wellbeing Project led by Phil Hanlon who chaired the session.

GCPH Seminar Series 8: Thinking in Systems - Looking for the Causes of Population Health
Identifying biologic and behavioural causes of disease has been one of the central concerns of epidemiology for the past half century. This has led to the development of increasingly sophisticated conceptual and analytic approaches focused on the isolation of single causes of disease states. However, the growing recognition that (a) factors at multiple levels, including biologic, behavioural, and group levels may influence health and disease, and (b) that the interrelation among these factors often includes dynamic feedback and changes over time challenges this dominant epidemiologic paradigm. Using examples we will discuss how this deterministic paradigm has led us down a narrow path that challenges our capacity to meaningfully understand the complex causes of health states. Once we begin ‘thinking in systems’ we inevitably arrive at a broader public health conceptualization of the causes of health states. This has important implications both for the science as well as for a public health policy approach that aims to improve the health of populations.

GCPH Seminar Series 8: Self Organisation and Civil Engagement: Co-operation, Culture and Politics for a More Sustainable Society - Learning from Vorarlberg, Austria
Vorarlberg in Austria has 20 years of experience in experimenting with different ways and methods of promoting a more sustainable society. Out of this experience has emerged the idea of a 'learning institution' embedded in a tight-knit network of co-operating institutions. In this lecture Manfred Helrigl outlined a 'philosophy of self-organization' and illustrated its impact through practical examples. Manfred suggested that we need to rethink familiar leadership strategies and revitalise democracy, because the existing system is not capable of handling wicked problems. He also outlined how they are approaching this challenge in Vorarlberg, what a new culture of co-operation could look like and its implications for society, government and administration at local and regional level.

GCPH Seminar Series 8: Thinking and Acting Differently - An Asset Model for Public Health
Very few people argue with the need to address the social determinants of health and much effort has already been made at national and international level to reduce persistent health inequities between and within countries. However, global health inequities continue to widen, as the effectiveness and quality of programmes vary considerably, sometimes resulting in the reverse of expected outcomes. Local political issues and cultural conflicts clearly play a part in these situations. However, the asset model proposed in ‘Health Assets in a Global Context’ suggests that it is the disproportionate emphasis between deficit and asset based approaches that prevent effective and sustained action. The former focuses on assessing health needs, sometimes ignoring the potential strengths of individuals and communities; the latter assesses multiple levels of health-promoting aspects in populations, and promotes joint solutions between communities and outside agencies. The Asset Model sets out a challenge for policy makers, researchers and practitioners to think and act differently to support positive joint solutions for health. It brings together a range of existing ideas to provide a framework for establishing the evidence base required to demonstrate the benefits to be gained from investing in asset based approaches. Antony Morgan is an epidemiologist and the Associate Director, Centre for Public Health Excellence for NICE. He is currently responsible for producing public health guidance across a range of public health topic areas, including inequalities, community engagement, social and emotional wellbeing of children, sexual health, alcohol misuse, quitting smoking during pregnancy, domestic violence and Hepatitis B and C.

GCPH Seminar Series 8: Developmental Programming - How Your Parents' Environment Before You Were Born Impacts on Your and Your Children's Risk of Disease
We all blame our genes for many of our features, behaviours and illnesses. Recent studies suggest that the environment before birth is also a major influence on the risk of ill-health across the lifespan and perhaps into a further generation. This process, called ‘developmental programming’, has been studied intensively in recent years and is beginning to reveal a process called epigenetics which underpins growth, behaviour and health risks. In this seminar, Prof Seckl will discuss these issues and how for example, stress during pregnancy or how well a child’s grandfather ate, impacts on their life.

GCPH Seminar 6: Medical Humanities and the 'Fifth Wave' in Public Health - Parallel Tracks?
In the final lecture of the 2012/2013 series of lectures provided by the Glasgow Centre for Population Health (GCPH), Professor Jane MacNaughton, Medical Humanities, University of Durham, discusses the links between Medical Humanities and the idea of the Fifth Wave in Public Health. Professor MacNaughton talks about the common origins of these two areas of thinking, the parallels and commonalities in Medical Humanities and new ideas in Public Health, and then identifies the challenges, the advantages of applying both areas in practice. She talks about the differences between the medical perspective of illness and that of the patient’s perspective - their experience, the effect illness has on their ability to do things, to relate to others, to live their life as they previously did and how Medical Humanities reintroduces the human scale record into the education of medical students and doctors through the use of literature, art and philosophy to exemplify how illness is experienced and lived.

GCPH Seminar Series 7: Mapping the Mind Under Pressure - Can Brain Imaging Research Tell us Anything New About Stress and Physical Health?
Seminar Series 7 concluded on Tuesday 10th May 2011 at St Andrew's in the Square, Glasgow. Everyone faces stressful experiences. They are facts of life. Not everyone handles stressful experiences in quite the same way, however. And not all stressful experiences are the same. Some are brief. Others are chronic. Some are psychological. Others are physical. Some make us grow and give us an opportunity to flourish. Others make us flounder and undermine our wellbeing. The different ways in which stress can affect people either positively or negatively ultimately depends on the brain. This is because the brain is the central organ that filters our experiences as being positive or negative - and it ultimately determines how we handle these experiences throughout life. The purpose of this lecture was to provide a general overview of what we know and what we don’t know about how the human brain processes and responds to stressful experiences, both in the short-term and over the long-term. A particular emphasis was placed on the strengths and weaknesses of brain imaging studies to address open questions about the bodily pathways linking stressful experiences to health, particularly physical health. To this end, the speaker’s work on the neurobiology of stress and cardiovascular disease risk was used for illustrative purposes. The lecture concluded by considering how future studies on this complicated topic can deepen our understanding of how stressful experiences can become embodied by the brain to influence health throughout life.

GCPH Seminar Series 7: Silent Transformation of Well-Being
The fifth seminar in Series 7 took place on Wednesday 13th April 2011 at the Trades Hall of Glasgow. Public policy debates in industrialized societies tend to evolve around two instrumental subsystems: the economy and the welfare state. The ultimate goal of these subsystems - the well-being of citizens - receives very little attention. It seems as if policy makers assume that they understand it so well that it needs no special reflection. Unfortunately, this is not the case. The determinants of well-being have changed considerably in recent decades as societies have become wealthier, cultural norms and regulations have become more liberal, and the influence of the markets in everyday life has grown. Instead of scarcity and deprivation, the majority of people in affluent societies suffer from the "problem of choice" – an inability to make good choices for their own and others' well-being. Increasing concerns surrounding work-life balance, mental health, obesity, personal finances and children's development, as well as the rapidly growing markets for life management and well-being magazines, TV programmes and personal consulting services, suggest that this problem is real and has major societal impacts. This underlines the need to develop a better and more holistic understanding of everyday wellbeing that could serve as a basis for better individual decisions and public policy making. Improving knowledge about wellbeing is also crucial for innovating products and services to improve it. The more you know about the determinants of wellbeing in everyday life, the better products and services you can develop. Hence, wellbeing and competitiveness are not contradictory, rather they are consistent with each other.

GCPH Seminar Series 7: Transforming Finance - Recognising the Global Financial System as a Commons
The first Seminar Series event of 2011 took place on Wednesday 19th January at the Teacher Building, Glasgow. Hazel Henderson spoke live from Florida via webcast. At the seminar Hazel discussed the implications of recognising global finance as a commons for re-structuring our current global casinos. She explored how to restore the purpose of finance as serving the real economies of the world, as well as the principles that should guide finance in the service of people and planet and outline the limits of markets and money itself. She examined how best to defend the global commons: atmosphere, oceans, biodiversity, etc. from inappropriate market penetration and protect human rights, especially those of indigenous peoples in non-market societies and their traditional cultures and lands. Her seminar also raised possible implications of socially responsible investing at the local level.

GCPH Seminar Series 7: The True, the Good and the Beautiful
It was Plato who first observed that human beings naturally integrate the true, the good and the beautiful. We still observe this in our own lives when we are allowed to do so. Yet, the true (as manifested in the ideologies of scientism and economism) has been elevated in our work and professional lives to a position where 'evidence' and 'cost effectiveness' trumps all other considerations. The result is that we feel brutalised and not 'fully human'.

GCPH Seminar Series 7: Is Resilience Enough?
The fourth seminar in Series 7 took place on Tuesday 8 March 2011 at the Lighthouse, Glasgow. It has become all too evident in recent months that the world, as well as local society, is being subjected to an increasing pace of shocks. These range from natural events, such as earthquakes, eruptions, super-storms and large scale flooding, to societal shocks including financial crises, budget cuts and unrest with outworn regimes and politics. At the local level we see escalating fuel and food prices, weather stress and degrading public health. These challenges are having the effect of switching the agenda from sustainability towards resilience. The question emergency planners ask is "how can we plan for anything without having to plan for everything?" The essential nature of resilience is to prepare capacity to be able to bounce back from shocks, surprises and contingencies. The task is to get things returned to normal as quickly as possible. But supposing we are entering a future where normal as we know it no longer exists? There may be structural changes taking place in people and planet that are too far gone from the normal that we have become comfortable with. This talk introduced the idea that we need to begin thinking about what it would mean to bounce beyond, to respond to crises as opportunities to change the way we configure life. In the increasing frequency of what Homer-Dixon calls synchronous failure, where our rigid structures are really broken down, we may be able to initiate positive changes that are impossible as 'gentle change' as the current system fights to keep the status quo. This leads us to a new concept called transformative resilience.

GCPH Lecture 3: An Exploration of Synergistic Thinking in Public Health, Integrated Health Care, Healthy Cities
Public health faces many challenges today and this will intensify in the future across many different areas - cost, technology, lifestyles, expectations and so on. In this lecture, Dr Joe Ravetz proposes that we need new ways of thinking to deal with these challenges. The work undertaken by the Centre for Urban and Regional Ecology, Manchester University, over the last ten years has involved developing new ways of thinking in relation to urban policy, environment and climate policy, technology and innovation policy, etc. It is these new ways of thinking which Dr Ravetz proposes could offer more to the public health debate, for example, if we broaden the debate we can see it’s not just about health it’s about well-being, if we look at well-being it’s about communities, how they are functioning, and it’s about the people in those communities. This lecture explores the first steps in this thinking process.

GCPH Seminar Series 2015-2016, Lecture 2: What does it mean to respond to change? Insight from the Solomon Islands
Professor Ioan Fazey, Director of the Centre for Environmental Change and Human Resilience (CECHR), Dundee University, delivers the second lecture in this Seminar Series. This presentation sought to examine issues around change, and how people respond to change using a case study from the Solomon Islands. The case study highlighted the need for improving our understanding of change and how desired change can be brought about. Towards the end, the presentation briefly touched on the kinds of things that might need to be considered if we are to facilitate transformative shifts that assist societies to work within the new normal of rapid and extensive change.

GCPH 2013 Symposium: From Early Understanding to New Perspectives - Connectedness: From Social Capital to Resilience
Session five in the Symposium. Pete is a qualitative specialist working a micro level, he gives an overview of the work he has done with the theme of connectedness and social capital. There have been many projects and partners. He gives definitions of the terms used in social capital. There is an unequal distribution of these types of links in Glasgow, people are turning inward during hard times. Does Glasgow have a form of social capital and bonding which is detrimental to health? It is too tribal, which makes it a challenge - a city of many cities. To change yourself and your health, you may have to change your social capital to get rid of harmful social networks. Gives the example of a former problem drinker. Services devised to help may not be effective due to a clash of networks. People's roles in the community may have greater social capital than those in the workplace, this can be due to fragmented employment history. Narratives can become stuck and can't develop further, such as the example of moving on from youthful binge drinking to parenthood, home ownership and so on. Social capital is an important element of resilience. We need to find places for multiple stories to flourish. Talks about the Christie Report and GCPH's work with small projects to develop recovery models. They are also trying to incorporate health economics into this work. They can use different forms of media to represent the data collected. We need to find a new story for Glasgow, one which can help us to resilience. A resilient community has a belief in its ability to adapt and thrive despite adversity.

GCPH Seminar Series 8, Seminar 2: Giving a Voice to Afghan Civil Society - The INSPIRE Project
Since 2010 the University of Strathclyde, the University of Herat and the NGO PeaceWaves International Network have been collaborating on two projects funded by the British Council. One of these collaborative projects is under the scheme called INSPIRE International Strategic Partnership and started in January 2011. The focus of this project is to run (across three years) two training courses for Afghan practitioners in Person Centred/Experiential Skills plus a final advanced input. The course is experientially co-constructed between tutors and participants on a daily basis, in respect of the local cultural and traditional values and has the long term aim to be training for trainers that can be applied and replicated autonomously at the University of Herat and several other Afghan organisations. In this lecture members of the team will present an overview of their work, together with findings so far and the implications of these for a country living with the consequences of a long period of war and devastation. Includes contributions by KAVEH, Ali; ABBASISHAHPASANDZADA, Fereshta; WAHIDY, Ahmad Hamid.

GCPH 2013 Symposium: From Early Understanding to New Perspectives - A Tale of Two Cities
Session four in the Symposium looks at Glasgow and Gothenburg, both are similar size with similar histories. Talk covers two areas, the health impact of school food policy and sustainable public travel. Since 2005 GCPH has been helping the council evaluate the impact of healthy school meal programmes. In primary schools, pleasant eating places are very important to pupils. In Gothenburg they use a family based approach, where the teachers eat with the pupils and all are involved in serving. No food choice is given, but they can choose how much salad to eat! Their kitchens are well resourced. Packed lunches and snacks are a problem in both places. Secondary schools are a bigger challenge. Glasgow have a project to keep S1 pupils in school over lunchtime, this has big social benefits for families. The Scottish Centre for Social Research helped with this research. Is the food that pupils buy outside school healthy? They found that local shopkeepers targeted school pupils and of 45 savoury food items analysed, the nutrition content varied widely. Recommended that all primary pupils stay on site and junior secondary school pupils are encouraged to do so. Since 2005 they have been engaged in qualitative research on how people travel using sustainable public transport. They looked at ease, safety and time. Local Authorities are not following up on promoting walking and cycling, car use is going up especially among those who can afford it. Road injuries are up in poorer areas. However cycling is increasing in Glasgow. Gothenburg has a better and more integrated public transport system and actively encourages cycling. GCPH hope that the Commonwealth Games will drive improvements in our system. In closing she noted that it is beneficial to work in partnership with other bodies on common interests and mentioned the London Health Commission. She finished by pointing out that it is a good time for an issue, mentioning how the horse meat scandal has raised awareness of food labelling standards.

GCPH 2013 Symposium: From Early Understanding to New Perspectives - Inequalities: Learning from Partnership Approaches
Session six of the Symposium. Talks about projects on partnerships with communities done with regard to the Christie Commission. The first is the Healthy Wealthy Children Project, the second the Equally Well test site in Govanhill. Gives the background on GCPH's work in developing inequalities thinking and support partnerships. The Healthy Wealthy Children project spanned 15 months and looked at the impact on service users and models of development for community health partnerships. Partners were NHS midwives and health visitors. He describes the project. It linked issues to do with gender, lone parenthood and risk with action on inequalities and money advice services. It looked at changes in service delivery by midwives and health visitors. It led to increased access to benefits that customers were entitled to. Onward support was increased and there was a good reach to ethnic groups and lone parents. There was excellent engagement from midwives and health visitors. The Govanhill project concerned participatory budgeting and developed from work done in Brazil. It gave local people a democratic involvement in how public money was spent. GOCA was a main driver, it was facilitated by Oxfam UK and evaluated by GCPH. He explains how the money was spent. Lessons learned included that an independent facilitator was important, and that people felt empowered. The money was used wisely. Challenges included time pressures, community representation, perhaps more young people could have been involved. The Healthy Wealthy Children project is ongoing, GCPH has a light touch involvement. They are now looking at new work with the voluntary sector on the changing nature of work, in work poverty and the impact on health. The welfare reforms that are taking place in the UK are very significant with regard to public spending, work and other issues. How can the GCPH extend methods of doing things differently for the challenges ahead?

GCPH Lecture 5: How the Effects of Traumatic Stress are Transmitted to the Next Generation
Professor Rachel Yahuda delivers a presentation on epigenetics and the effects of stress on the next generation. She opens the lecture with a series of pictures depicting people who have just experienced a catastrophic event in their life and showing the fear, shock, helplessness and grief felt immediately after a tragedy has occurred. Professor Yahuda talks about a programme set up in the early 1990’s to help treat holocaust survivors and how the children of survivors were contacting the programme and asking for help. This presented an opportunity for scientific enquiry to provide objective data to the question of what effect did the holocaust have on the children of holocaust survivors and did this, in any way translate to a global significance to survivors of other traumatic and stressful events. She discusses the initial survey the programme carried out, the findings and further studies undertaken, and presents these detailed findings.

GCPH Seminar Series 8, Seminar 2: Giving a Voice to Afghan Civil Society - The DelPHE Project
Since 2010 the University of Strathclyde, the University of Herat and the NGO PeaceWaves International Network have been collaborating on two projects funded by the British Council. The first, under the scheme called DelPHE and started in September 2010, is a three year collaborative research project titled Afghan Civil Society's opinion and suggestions regarding women's empowerment and children's education in their country. 15 young Afghan researchers have been trained on quantitative and qualitative research methods. Parallel to that, a questionnaire and some focus groups have been developed and are due to be run by the young researchers across the six Afghan Provinces. The aim of this project is to give a voice to Afghan Civil Society regarding two main emergencies in their country (that are also points raised by the Millennium Development Goals, 2009): women's empowerment and children's education. In this lecture members of the team will present an overview of their work, together with findings so far and the implications of these for a country living with the consequences of a long period of war and devastation.
