Healthy Lives Healthy Cities 2019, Public Health Priorities for Scotland is a unique conference that will address Scotland’s current public health position. Public Health does not just define health and mean the absence of disease; public health looks at everything from physical, mental and social well being. This conference will help us understand what helps and influences in making a city, town or region more or less healthy. Even though the lives of many Scottish individuals are improving, there are still many challenges ahead. This conference will not only look at the current public health situation, but a discussion surrounding how this can be improved and delivered will also play an imperative part of this conference. Throughout the day they will have some world-leading solutions and innovations being showcased to the delegation.
