Presentations
2024
Professor John Glover, Director of PHIDU, presented “30 years of mapping social and health inequality: have we seen changes?" as part of Torrens University's 2024 Research Seminar Series Program. Professor Glover will discuss three topics, two of which have come to be seen as even bigger challenges in recent years and one which has always been ‘acknowledged’ as a major inequality, but is not a focus of government action. The topics are overweight and obesity, mental health and premature mortality. He will show examples from the Social Health Atlas of Australia, with data dating back to the mid- to late-1980s, to show how many spatial patterns are engrained in our cities, and that despite overall improvements in many indicators of the social determinants of health equity and of health outcomes, the equity gap is frequently widening.
The PowerPoint slides are available here and the recording of the presentation is available here.
2023
Professor John Glover, Director of PHIDU, presented “Population health data show many changes for the better but are they equitable?” as part of Torrens University's Research and Innovation Week. The data highlights the stark differences in health outcomes for different populations across the country. The recording is available here.
Justin Beilby, a health services researcher and general practitioner for over 30 years provides his insights on the usefulness of PHIDU’s hot spot analysis of potentially preventable hospitalisations for health care decision making. The recording is available here.
