Dr Justin Varney-Bennett providing food for thought by talking about the culture context of dietary decisions (place, identity, experiences, deprivation). Thinking about culturally intelligent eating guides, weight as an aspect of cultural identity, and the stigma of food poverty. #WSARoadmapevent

Four lessons from Dolly van Tulekken to make national food policy work: 1) deploy a compelling argument, 2) build a movement, 3) enlist the prime minister, and 4) be bold, act fast, no regrets! #WSARoadmapevent

Great to see Dolly van Tulleken on stage with her daughter Daphne. Reflecting on 30 years of failed government policy on obesity in England. No less than 689 policies and no reduction in obesity. #WSARoadmapevent

Fancy a fishbowl? Come join us in Mercian 2 room at 10.55 to share learning about leadership and governance in Whole Systems Approaches set-up. #WSARoadmapevent

Opening key note by deputy chief medical officer Dr Jeanne de Gruchy, highlighting worrying increases in obesity in both children and adults with people living in deprived areas worst affected. Food industry promotion of unhealthy foods are one of the main drivers. #WSARoadmapevent

Very pleased to be at the #Whole #Systems #Approach Roadmap event in Birmingham talking about all things healthy weight, systems, and collaborations between academia and local authorities to share insights, including from @nihr-phirst.bsky.social projects. #WSARoadmapevent

Many congratulations to Dr. Ruth Muscat, who successfully defended her PhD yesterday @northumbriauni.bsky.social as part of her work within the @arcnenc.bsky.social SKIM theme. 🥳.

Insightful keynote by @romankislov.bsky.social at the Swiss #Implementation Science Conference in Zurich, reframing implementation barriers as #boundary #spanning issues, drawing on knowledge transfer, cultural and political definitions of boundaries, and with provocative implications. #IMPACT26

Today we launched the @nihr.bsky.social #Knowledge #Mobilisation for #Research #Inclusion #Incubator, bringing together researchers, community members & organisations, and health and care professionals in Birmingham to build a national network and develop capacity in #KMb.

I am exciting to co-lead one of these teams, PHIRST Fusion, with Peter Craig to work closely with local authorities across the UK in evaluating their #public #health interventions and supporting #mobilisation of research evidence into their decision making.
