Women's and Men's Health Symposiums
Heathy life expectancy in North Lanarkshire is just 52. The lowest in Scotland.
At New College Lanarkshire we refuse to accept that. We are resolved to play our part to secure healthier lives for people in our communities. We know that education leads to healthier lives.
This June, New College Lanarkshire is bringing some of the country's leading health experts to Coatbridge to find solutions. If you agree North Lanarkshire deserves better than 52 then join us.
Keynote speakers:
- Professor Anna Glasier - Women's Health Champion for Scotland
- Dr Henry Simmons - CEO, Alzheimer's Scotland
- Heather Connolly - Principal Health Psychologist, NHS Scotland
