CUMBRIANS are set to hear about the health inequalities in our county in a talk hosted by a pioneering new medical school.
Pears Cumbria School of Medicine opened its doors to its first cohort in August 2025, offering postgraduate learning to aspiring clinicians and a bespoke curriculum focussing on the county's health issues.
A research hub based out of the new medical school is delivering a series of webinars which showcase the work of health academics nationally and within Cumbria.
And the research hub has this week revealed details of its latest webinar: Exploring Population Health.
Taking place on Thursday February 26, it will give Cumbrians an insight into the work of Dr Christopher Chiswell, a Public Health Consultant at the University Hospitals of Morecambe Bay NHS Foundation Trust.
Dr Chiswell's presentation on public health in Cumbria will delve into his work with local authorities, health services and community organisations "to improve population health and reduce health inequalities."
Professor Rory Collins will speak about the work of UK Biobank, as its principal investigator.
The UK health study looks to use data to improve prevention, diagnosis and treatment of common diseases.
