30 Sep 2019 Food Active Annual Conference 2019: Healthy Weight in all Policies – Two Years On
Following the success of our first ‘Healthy Weight in all Policies’ conference in 2017, this year we are reflecting back on the progress made on the obesity agenda in the last two years, and plans for the future, both at a local and nation policy level.
The conference ‘Healthy Weight in all Polices – Two Years On’ will be held on Tuesday 12th November, 10am-4pm at the Manchester Conference Centre and will bring together local authorities, public health professionals, elected members, academics, the third sector, NHS, Government departments and more to discuss how healthy weight can be considered across all organisations and departments. There will be the opportunity for local authorities and other organisations to share learning and best practice.
The full conference programme is now finalised, and can be viewed below.
