You are invited to submit an abstract for an oral or poster presentation relating to the topics of the GRF One Health Summit 2012.

  2. Prevention is better than cure; investing in your arteries

    23 February 2012

    Lecturer: Professor John Deanfield (UCL Institute of Child Health)
     
    Although clinical complications of arterial disease usually occur from middle age, the underlying pathology begins many years earlier with signs of arterial wall thickening becoming detectable from childhood. Traditionally, guidelines for intervention have been based on 10 year risk, but this approach results in under-treatment, especially of young subjects and women. This lecture, to mark Heart Awareness Month, will discuss the assessment of ‘life time’ cardiovascular risk, how this is now being recommended as the basis for future prevention strategies, placing greater emphasis on healthy lifestyle from a young age, and advocating active earlier pharmacological treatment of high risk groups.

  9. Aiming for Zero: The Challenges for Road Safety

    23 March 2012

    One Drummond Gate, Victoria, London SW1V 2QQ.
     
    The last year has been a challenging time for anyone in road safety. There have been positive developments. Road deaths and serious injuries fell to an all-time low in 2010. A focus on improving safety continued in 2011 with the launch of the UN Decade for Road Safety.

    Yet questions still remain about the commitment of government to enhancing the safety of the people of Britain with its policies on reducing the emphasis on the use of safety cameras, a potential rise of the motorway speed limit for cars to 80mph and a lack of commitment to a target for cutting road death and injury, relying more on forecasts for casualties.
