Views of health in Glasgow

Originally produced for an international audience at a conference in Pittsburgh, USA, this film provides insights on health concerns and beliefs drawn from interviews with Glaswegians themselves and with a group of health experts. 

In the film, members of the public are asked a series of questions about health:

• How do you feel Glasgow has changed in your life time?
• What do you think has been getting better and what has been getting worse in terms of health?
• Do you think there are different health problems in different communities across Glasgow?

Three experts in the field of health and health inequalities comment on:

• the major health trends in Glasgow in the last 20 years
• what is different about Glasgow’s health challenge from those of other areas
• actions being taken to improve health and wellbeing in the city
• the major threats or health issues in Glasgow in the next 50 years
• the most important things that have been learnt about how to improve Glasgow’s health
