Symposium Lectures Scotland’s Health – Climbing the European League
نویسنده
چکیده
INTRODUCTION The conference was planned around four themes: life expectancy and health outcomes in Scotland in a European context; causes of health and disease in Scotland; health services in Scotland; and suggestions for improvement of Scotland’s health. Dr Harry Campbell planned the conference but could not be present. The conference was opened by Dr Niall FInlayson, President of the College who commented on the College’s central role in continuing education concerned with health issues. The conference was unique in being planned in association with the Public Health Institute of Scotland. It was unusual for the College to focus on community and public health issues rather than on the care of individual patients.
