EUPHA at very successful Stockholm 2017 The European public
health conference in Stockholm, 1-4 November, can be described as
very successful. With a new record of delegates (over 2'000) and a
fully packed programme, this conference has provided an overview of
all issues in public health in Europe at this moment. EUPHA -
through its sections, pillars and EUPHAnxt - has been very involved
in setting the programme. Two plenary sessions, 10 pre conferences
and 38 workshops were (co-) organised by EUPHA. During the
conference, EUPHA also celebrated its 25th anniversary.
New EUPHA section on Health workforce research The EUPHA
Governing Board - during its annual meeting on 1 November 2017 in
Stockholm - established a new EUPHA section on Health workforce
research. This section started as a working group within the EUPHA
section on Health services research, but the topic has become so
important that a separate section is now put in place. Dr Ellen
Kuhlmann, initiator of this section, has been elected the president
of EUPHA - HWR. https://eupha.org/health-workforce-resea...

EUPHA section on Sexual and Gender Minority Health (SGMH) In
November 2016, a new section on Sexual and Gender Minority Health
(SGMH) was created within EUPHA to meet the needs of this important
and growing research field. We have seen a substantial increase in
subscribers to the section during the year. However, not all EUPHA
members may have updated their profiles over the past months.
Therefore, we would like to draw your attention to the possibility
join the section (via the EUPHA website) and stay up to date with
our activities. Richard Bränström and Arjan van der Star - the
EUPHA section on SGMH
EUPHA publishes the E-collection on Alcohol Consumption and
Harmful Use of Alcohol "Alcohol consumption, and with it the burden
of alcohol-related disease, is higher in Europe than anywhere in
the world" write the authors of the latest e-collection from
European Journal of Public Health. This fascinating e-collection
includes a special introduction and was created as EUPHA's support
to its Estonian member, the Estonian Health Promotion Union. During
the second half of 2017, Estonia holds the Presidency of the
Council of the European Union.

Europe.

European Awareness Week on Alcohol Related Harm (AWARH) Now in
its 5th year, the European Awareness Week on Alcohol Related Harm
(AWARH) takes place from 20th – 24th November 2017, with various
activities being carried out under the theme of ―Alcohol and
Cancer‖. Research in Europe has shown that 1 in 10 Europeans do not
know about the connection between alcohol and cancer, and that 1 in
5 do not believe that there is a link between cancer and the drinks
that millions of us enjoy every week. The AWARH partners are
undertaking a number of activities this week which will highlight
the importance of understanding the risks associated with harmful
alcohol consumption. ―Alarmingly, the burden on society of alcohol
related harm continues to grow. In the WHO European region
approximately 70% of adults drink alcohol‖ says Dr Biljana Borzan
MEP who will host an AWARH event at European Parliament, in
Brussels, on 23rd November. Dr Borzan notes that ―there is clear
evidence linking alcohol to more than 60 diseases, including
cancer, cardiovascular diseases such as stroke and hypertension,
liver and digestive diseases, and brain diseases. The cost of
inaction, estimated at 700 billion Euros in healthcare costs alone
will only continue to rise, and Europe cannot afford to continue to
let that happen‖.

At the AWARH event to be held in the European Parliament on 23rd
November the AWARH partners will be issuing a Statement
highlighting the link between alcohol and cancer, and asking for
concrete steps to be taken to support (1) the implementation of the
WHO Global Strategy to Reduce the Harmful Use of Alcohol, and (2)
the wider dissemination of the European Code Against Cancer.

10. WHO news WHO guidelines on ethical issues in public health
surveillance World Health Organization, 2017 ISBN:
978-92-4-151265-7 The WHO Guidelines on Ethical Issues in Public
Health Surveillance is the first international framework of its
kind, it fills an important gap. The goal of the guideline
development project was to help policymakers and practitioners
navigate the ethical issues presented by public health
surveillance. This document outlines 17 ethical guidelines that can
assist everyone involved in public health surveillance, including
officials in government agencies, health workers, NGOs and the
private sector. I gratefully acknowledge the many experts and WHO
colleagues who have made important contributions to this
publication. WHO has rightly asserted that public health
surveillance, conducted in a manner that anticipates ethical
challenges and proactively seeks to reduce unnecessary risks,
provides the architecture for social well-being. It is now up to
the global community and countries to take up this challenge and
implement the guidelines in their surveillance systems.
