On #WorldHearingDay, a reminder for all health workers:

Untreated hearing loss can impact a child more than one can imagine. It can delay speech and language development, affect learning, and limit social interaction.

You can make a huge difference:
🔎 Screen during school visits and routine child health checks
👂 Use WHO tools, such as WHOears, for early detection
🩺 Refer children for care without delay

Speaker: Prof Stephen Palmer 
20th January 2026, 1-2pm 
UWTSD Doctoral College Seminar Series

The '#WinterBlues' is a popular term used by the public although it is not a medical condition. This presentation will consider the possible reasons for a mild, and temporary dip in mood, energy, and motivation that can happen during the winter months. Then the presentation will focus on practical, coping strategies including easy to use thinking skills to challenge any 'Winter Blues Thinking'.

In the UK, some people have significant winter depression which is known as #SeasonalAffectiveDisorder (SAD). Therefore, knowing when to seek professional help will also be highlighted in this lecture.
