Turning the Tide on Childhood Obesity | Public Health Voices 

In this webinar we welcome Dr Oliver Mytton, Clinical Associate Professor and Honorary Public Health Consultant at the UCL Great Ormond Street Institute for Child Health to discuss childhood obesity.
Sadly, childhood obesity has become increasingly common, affecting the health of children and the adults they will become. No country has yet reversed this rising trend. This lecture will focus on why policy makers need to shift attention away from individuals and families, and address the underlying economic, social and environmental factors that shape children and young people’s opportunities to eat well and be active. It will give practical examples of policies that have been shown to help, and how research can be used to inform policy and practice.
