Social determinants of health (SDOH) are often overlooked in policy-making, leading to individual-focused health initiatives.
In @TheLancetPH, authors call for a shift from individual accountability to systemic solutions to address SDOH: hubs.li/Q03c1Jwt0

Maybe worth saying here, that any town that has a direct stop to Glasgow Central/Queen Street is your friend if hotels are scarce 👍 Even Edinburgh (although not cheap) is 45 minutes direct on the train 🚄
It’s the final count down….don’t miss out!
(And another reminder to reserve hotels early, Glasgow is selling out…)

For anyone even thinking of attending, I'd reserve a hotel room now. Several large events are on at the same time - so best to reserve early and cancel later if you decide against it (why would you do that? It's going to be a cracker!) Some info about hotels below.
REMINDER: The call for abstracts for #CAGR2025 hosted by @GlaGamRes at @UofGlasgow is open.
✈️If you're thinking of coming to CAGR 2025 in Glasgow, important info on hotel availability and visas available on our website cagrconference.org/getting-t…
