In our conversation with Dr. Oldfather, an inaugural Member of the Scottish Parliament, we learn about her role in shaping public health priorities. She was a member of Cross-party groups, such as the Cross-party Group on Tobacco Control, were instrumental in fostering collaboration regardless of political allegiance, driving policy changes and overcoming resistance from the industry to prioritise health outcomes.
Irene talks to us about the pivotal role the third sector continues to play in connecting communities with policymakers and addressing grassroots health issues like poverty and inequality.
