During this webinar, David will discuss his and Gerry McCartney’s new book Social Murder? Austerity and Life Expectancy in the UK which presents evidence on the impacts of UK Government ‘austerity’ policies on health and health inequalities.

Prior to GCPH, David’s posts included the Public Health Institute of Scotland (PHIS) and NHS Health Scotland, ISD Scotland (then the statistical arm of the NHS in Scotland). He also conducted a range of research projects within NHS Greater Glasgow, NHS Argyll and Clyde, and NHS Grampian.
