This half-day meeting is designed to showcase some of the research currently being undertaken by some of the members of the Social Scientists in Health Group. We will also have the opportunity to exchange ideas with colleagues working on similar research themes.

We welcome anyone with an interest in health and the social sciences to come along and meet other like-minded people. We look forward to an afternoon of interesting discussion and debate, and the opportunity to get together at the end of a busy academic year. Please register for the event here {add Eventbrite link].

The event runs from 1300 to 1600 in the St Andrew’s Building Room 224. It will be followed by a drinks reception and the opportunity to meet and chat to more of our colleagues. We hope to see you there.
