Episode notes

In this episode we are exploring public health research - what it is and how it can help people to live healthier and longer lives. 

For many people their only experience of public health research will be related to infection prevention and protection during the COVID19 pandemic.  But that's just one area of public health research and this podcast explores the bigger picture of what public health research is and how it can benefit us all. 

Our host, Professor Turi King chats with Professor Jane West who is NIHR national speciality lead for public health and director of public health research at Bradford Institute for Health Research and also Professor Rosie McEachan who is director of the Born in Bradford research study about the work they are doing.
