Andy Haines

From Glyncorrwg to the Globe. Andy Haines worked as a GP and researcher before realising that the greatest thing he could do for human health was to reveal its critical connection to the health of our planet. In 1991, he  was one of the first people to warn that the changes expected in the world’s climate would worsen health in many ways, writing in the BMJ that ‘more resources, and some fundamental changes in policy, are needed to avert potential catastrophe’. Recognition by LSHTM when awarded the 2022 Tyler Prize for Environmental Achievement Professor Sir Andrew Paul Haines trained in general (family) practice with Dr Julian Tudor Hartin Glyncorrwg, Wales. He was a consultant in epidemiology in the Medical Research Council Epidemiology and Medical Care Unit between 1980 and 1987 and Professor of Primary Health Care at University College London from 1987 to 2000. He was Director of the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine (LSHTM) for nearly 10 years until October 2010 and continues to work at LSHTM as Professor of Public Health and Primary Care. He has also worked internationally, including in Nepal, Jamaica and the USA. He has been Chair of the UK Medical Research Council Global Health Group and a member of the MRC Strategy Board and of many other national and international committees. For full details see Wikipedia
