The 5th Occupational and Environmental Epidemiology Meeting will take place on Thursday 15th July at Manchester Macdonald Hotel, Manchester
The first four meetings on Environmental and Occupational Epidemiology took place in London in 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008 and were a great success. The meetings enabled cross fertilization of research interests between those with an interest in environmental and occupational epidemiology. To further develop these disciplines in the UK and Ireland and to promote collaborative working, the next meeting will take place on Thursday 15th July at the Macdonald Manchester Hotel & Spa, London Road, Manchester (adjacent to Piccadilly Train Station).
The target audience is those with an interest in environmental and occupational epidemiology and early career researchers are particularly welcome. The recent and rapid expansion of occupational and environmental epidemiology and health risk assessment looks set to continue in line with growing public, government and media concern about occupational and environmental health issues. Therefore there remains a scientific need to understand better and explain the effects of occupational and environmental pollutants on human health. The aim of the meeting is to examine various topics in a fairly informal environment to encourage discussion and collaborative networking.
UK and Ireland early career researchers and PhD students have the opportunity to come to a meeting showcasing current work, alongside more experienced researchers. They can bid to give a short (15 minutes including questions) oral presentation, or posters of ongoing work. Members of UK Government scientific committees charged with appraising environmental and occupational epidemiology, for risk management and standard setting, can benefit from updates on the most recent developments.
While it is primarily a forum for presenting and exchanging research interests and ideas between UK/Irish participants, and posters are invited from research groups in the UK and Ireland, it is an open meeting and colleagues from overseas are welcome to attend.
Speakers:
Andrew Darnton, Health & Safety Executive
Paul Wilkinson, London School of Health and Tropical Medicine
