Public Lecture - Talking about… public health, choices and inequalities

“Talking about… public health, choices and inequalities” is the second lecture of the online Public Lecture Series ‘Talking About…’ which showcases research from Lancaster University staff relating to the pandemic and its impacts. In this lecture, Professor Catherine Walshe, Professor Nancy Preston, Dr Rachel Marshall and Dr Rachel Tyrrell-Smith focus on the repercussion of the pandemic on care and healthcare. First, Professor Catherine Walshe (Health Research, Lancaster University) draws on information from the multi-national ‘CovPall’ study to understand the impact of the pandemic on volunteering in palliative care, and how this can be addressed for the future. Then Professor Nancy Preston (Health Research, Lancaster University) introduces the concept of advance care planning, explores how it works, and discusses some new research relating to advance care planning during the pandemic, conducted in care homes and palliative care units. Finally, Dr Rachel Marshall (Lancaster Environment Centre, FoodFutures, Lancaster University) and Dr Rachel Tyrrell-Smith (Lancaster City Council, FoodFutures and Lancaster District Food Poverty Alliance) discuss the links between food and health, and how our current economics and an industrial food system are driving negative public health trends.
