As part of our work on Project Wavelength, IPUR is organising a series of workshops with experts to discuss issues relating to pertinent risk topics. On 4 July, IPUR held one such interactive workshop on “health risk perception gaps” featuring a facilitated discussion with participants working in a range of professional roles within the health sector including physicians, nurses, and academics.
