This is the first Annual Report prepared by the Unit since it transferred to the University on 1st June 2013. In her Welcome message, Professor Anna Dominiczak, Vice Principal and Head of College of Medical, Veterinary and Life Sciences at the University of Glasgow said
“I am delighted to use the opportunity of the Unit’s Annual Report to say how pleased we are to welcome the MRC/CSO Social and Public Health Sciences Unit to the University of Glasgow. The Unit sits in the University’s College of Medical, Veterinary and Life Sciences (MVLS) and forms a substantial part of the Institute of Health and Wellbeing (IHW). Included in its overall strategy, ‘Glasgow 2020 - a global vision’, the University has ‘Health, Wellbeing and Deprivation’ as one of its priority themes. The Institute of Health and Wellbeing, which is a cross-College research institute located both within MVLS and the College of Social Sciences, brings together a substantial group of interdisciplinary researchers with a shared focus on the aim of improving population health and wellbeing and reducing inequalities in health. The Unit will clearly make an important contribution to this vision. I am also pleased to have the opportunity to thank Professor Dame Sally Macintyre for her critical role in establishing the IHW as its founding Director, as well as her outstanding leadership of the Unit for 30 years. Finally, I am delighted to welcome Professor Laurence Moore as the new Director of SPHSU and look forward to working with him on a great future for the Unit within its new home.”
