The seminar series is intended to create a space in which participants are exposed to interesting and relevant ideas, encouraged to develop their thinking and increase dialogue across disciplines and sectors. It is hoped that the series contributes to the development of a better understanding of the context in which the challenge of health improvement is undertaken and suggests that it is possible to discover a new public health methodology and understanding which will be of value beyond the confines of the city and regional boundaries. The series covers a wide range of topics and consists of a number of public lectures, associated with a number of small, invited seminars designed to explore the ideas raised in the lectures in more detail and establish their relevance to health improvement.
