Show Notes

Scotland compares very poorly with other countries in Europe and even within the UK when it comes to health inequalities, but why? In S03E02 of the RSE’s Tea and Talk Podcast, RSE Chief Executive Rebekah Widdowfield talks to Professor Graham Watt CBE FRSE about the reasons and possible answers.

Graham is Emeritus Professor in General Practice at the University of Glasgow and a Fellow of both the Academy of Medical Sciences and the Royal Society of Edinburgh. He has written extensively on health inequalities and for over a decade has been involved in the Deep End Project, which looks at work in general practices serving the hundred most deprived populations in Scotland.
