Professor Paul Gately (Director of MoreLife and Professor of Exercise and Obesity at Leeds Beckett University) will attend the meeting to set out further details on how industry could be involved with developing and delivering systems-based approaches to obesity at a local level.
A systems-based approach sets out how stakeholders can effectively engage with each other through partnerships to define needs and plan and provide services. With food and drink manufacturing sites across every region and nation of the UK, this provides an opportunity to engage with local councils and public health organisations to ensure action is locally relevant, sustainable, and effective.
