A simple dose of antibiotics: sepsis reporting in UK newspapers
New research has found that the media presents deaths from sepsis as easily avoidable by prescribing antibiotics, without acknowledging the health risks associated with their overuse.
Events
We share our research by taking part in annual events like the MRC Festival of Medical Research, Glasgow Science Festival, Explorathon and Pint of Science, as well as organising our own lunchtime seminar series, debates and exhibitions.
Lunchtime seminars
Our lunchtime seminars are usually held on a Thursday from 1-2pm at the MRC/CSO Social and Public Health Sciences Unit.
Please see below for details of our upcoming seminars.
For further information about the series, please contact sphsu-seminars@glasgow.ac.uk.
