Voices from Grand Challenges – Justice and Health with Prof Dame Hazel Genn

Many health problems find their root cause, and solution, in the law rather than medicine – unfortunately, many people who suffer from these problems are often unable to seek adequate help. Professor Dame Hazel Genn (UCL Faculty of Laws) discusses the links between health and law, and talks about setting up the UCL Centre for Access to Justice and the UCL Integrated Legal Advice Clinic, an innovative partnership with a GP practice to deliver free legal advice to vulnerable patients within the practice. UCL’s Grand Challenges convene and cultivate cross-disciplinary collaborations that bring researchers together, explore joined-up solutions in six areas related to matters of pressing societal concern, and set the agenda for future research while building bridges with external partners.
