KNOW-PH Evidence Summary Compendium: Active Travel, Air Quality, Food Takeaways, HIAs & Housing The Know-PH’s first Deep Dive co-design topic was ‘Housing’, selected through a process of surveys with local government Public Health professionals, literature and dialogue with the funder.Please note that this work is not a systematic or scoping review of all the literature and evidence available. It does provide potential evidence sources for engagement within and across Local Authorities. The work focused primarily on NIHR research evidence with other sources sought to help bridge gaps in knowledge. Other sources of evidence included evidence from other funders, policy and evidence papers. Drawing on the evidence and in collaboration with our partner organisations, PPIE and the NIHR the topic of housing was identified as the focus for the Deep Dive 1. Emerging from this work, we examined the use of HIAs in the development of local plans and large housing developments. This work was updated in January 2025. Contents 1.

When health determines the future: immunity, attendance and the next generation of digital skills I was out early this morning walking Chip in the rain. She was completely unbothered with nose down, tail up, absolutely joyful.

With OCD and an immune deficiency, health shapes so much of my world. It also shapes children’s ability to learn and their futures. This edition comes from lived experience as much as data.

GLP-1 Drugs, Obesity and the Politics of Blame - Industrial Estate of Mind GLP-1 drugs promise dramatic weight loss — but unless we fix inequality and our broken food system, they’ll only make the health divide wider

Obesity drugs might change public health forever — but only if we stop pretending weight is about willpower and start fixing the system that made us sick.

Respiratory disease rarely features in physical health guidance for people with SMI, but it should. Let’s start asking:
🌟 Should annual reviews inc respiratory screening?
🌟 How do poverty & pollution shape risk?
🌟 What would equitable care look like?
