    • Problem solving: from the clinic to the classroom17:30 - 18:30Hormones are crucial to normal health. These blood-borne signalling molecules regulate numerous body processes, from metabolism to mood. It is vital that both doctors and patients understand how hormones work; hormonal dysfunction has major health consequences, including diabetes and thyroid disease. For patients, misinformation is a common barrier to understanding their medical condition and how best to manage it. Professor Niamh Martin has pioneered innovative teaching approaches to engage and support learners, making difficult concepts accessible and meaningful. As Chair of Public Engagement at The Society for Endocrinology and through her involvement with The Pituitary Foundation, she plays a key role in combating misinformation and improving health literacy. In this inaugural lecture, Professor Niamh Martin will discuss her experiences in healthcare, education and research, why endocrinology is such an important speciality, and why understanding hormones is important for everyone.
