We’re excited for the next instalment of our academic webinar series – with the next session taking place on Wednesday, 3rd June 2026 (11:30-12:30). This event will feature insightful talks from:
Dr Olivia Swann – Honorary Consultant in Paediatric Infectious Disease, RHCYP Edinburgh, who will be discussing the Homes, Heat and Healthy Kids Study
Dr Olivia Swann (Livvy) is a children’s doctor and data scientist at the University of Edinburgh. Her research focuses on improving child health and reducing health inequalities. Her previous work has influenced national and international policy around children and COVID and has been presented to the Scottish and UK governments and the World Health Organisation. Livvy has recently been appointed to the Scottish Government’s Fuel Poverty Advisory Panel.
Livvy is running the Homes, Heat and Healthy Kids Study, a new study investigating the role of cold, damp homes and respiratory infections in preschool children, as well as exploring how different ways of making a home warmer affect the risk of these infections. Her work is bringing together a wide variety of datasets across Scotland, including healthcare, housing, energy use, air pollution and climate, looking at the whole of Scotland over the past 15 years.
