  • AFTERnow - University of Glasgow

    Western civilisation has conquered great health perils in the past. But the peculiarly modern malaise seems resistant to treatment. Obesity, depression, addiction, loss of wellbeing – these are issues which sap the resources and spirit of modern practitioners. The AfterNow Project seeks to trace the development of our current situation. In six 5-minute introductory videos – backed up by a dozen 10-minute audio podcasts and over 30 short papers – we unpack the ideas which shape and limit contemporary responses... and look to a brave new future for public health.

  • Scottish Nutrition and Diet Resources Initiative

    The Scottish Nutrition and Diet Resources Initiative (SNDRí) aims to produce a range of easily accessible diet-sheets, which give consistent health messages to the public, and avoid duplication of effort by professionals in Scotland.
    SNDRí produces a range of leaflets for health professionals. The diet-sheets produced can be broadly divided into three categories: therapeutic resources for use by specialist health professionals, mainly dietitians - with their clients; first line leaflets for GP's, practice nurses and pharmacists to provide to clients as a stop-gap while they await specialist dietary advice; and leaflets designed to be picked up directly by the public.
