'Age of Health' and GHSM seminar series

Health is both a measure and driver of a successful society, including but not limited to health inequality, the social determinants of health and health-centred approaches to policy.

In the 'Age of Health' series, our experts speak with activists and leaders about this defining issue of our age.

The GHSM seminars host speakers from within and outside King's during the academic year for conversations about their research.
