This , we're celebrating the professionals helping to strengthen relationships and support healthy development in the earliest years of life.

Our Infant Mental Health MSc/PgDip/PgCert equips students with the knowledge and confidence to take a relationship-based approach, recognising the vital role that parents, caregivers and families play in a child's wellbeing.

As part of this year's campaign, we're sharing the experiences of our students and graduates. Chelandi Kritzinger, Case Manager in Early Childhood Intervention and Parent Consultancy, reflects on how the programme has shaped her practice:

"It has helped me move from technique-driven practice to relationship-led and developmentally informed work. I now consider the child within their system far more intentionally, and I feel better equipped to support families in a way that respects each child's individuality."

Chelandi also highlights how the programme strengthened her ability to sit with complexity, consider multiple perspectives and explore the meaning behind behaviour, helping to inform her work with both children and parents.

Delivered fully online, this remains the only Infant Mental Health postgraduate programme of its kind in the UK.

As part of this year's campaign, we're sharing the experiences of our students and graduates. Alexia Koster, Child Life Specialist and CSA Prevention Business Owner, reflects on one of her key takeaways from the programme:

"By working with the whole family unit and giving caregivers the tools to support their child in that one tough moment, it also gives them the tools to support them later on… building trust and resilience in the relationship."

Delivered fully online, this remains the only Infant Mental Health postgraduate programme of its kind in the UK.

Yesterday, we were delighted to host the Equalise Centre Day at the University of Glasgow, bringing together researchers, policymakers, practitioners and partners to connect, reflect and share ideas on advancing health equity.

A huge thank you to our inspiring speakers from Public Health Scotland, the Scottish Government, Scottish Women’s Budget Group and Voluntary Health Scotland, whose expertise and insights sparked engaging discussions and helped deepen our collective understanding of the challenges and opportunities ahead.

Events like this highlight the importance of collaboration in driving meaningful change. It was a pleasure to welcome colleagues, collaborators and friends of the Centre, and to see such enthusiasm for translating evidence into action.

We look forward to building on the conversations and connections made throughout the day as we continue working together from evidence to equity.

New University of Glasgow-led research has revealed that up to half of chronic kidney disease (CKD) cases may remain undiagnosed, despite CKD now being the ninth leading cause of death globally.

Published in The Lancet and led by Dr Jennifer Lees, the landmark series of papers highlights how wider use of a simple urine test could significantly improve early detection and treatment of the condition.

CKD affects an estimated 844 million adults worldwide and around 7.2 million people in the UK. Yet many individuals remain unaware they have the disease due to a lack of symptoms in its early stages.

The research calls for greater investment in diagnosis, prevention and treatment, with particular attention to groups disproportionately affected by underdiagnosis.

As thousands of kidney experts gather in Glasgow this week for the European Renal Association Congress, these findings reinforce the importance of early detection in reducing the global burden of kidney disease.
