There is a lot I want to write about & reflect on from today’s conference. I really needed to hear what the CMO, Professor Chris Whitty had to say to us: don’t give up to cynicism and nihilism; don’t fight each other & keep focused on the work that needs to be done around prevention #nephconf24
Congratulations to Rosie Baker (Public Health South Tees alumna!) for winning an award at NE Public Health Conference 2024 #nephconf24 for her work on Women’s Health. Well done also to Alice Beadle for her award winning work on reducing gambling harms across the NE
@kallmemeg.bsky.social I remembered your question listening to the Professor Kevin Fenton @profkevinfenton.bsky.social key note presentation at our North East Public Health Conference #nephconf24 This slide 👇 I think sums a lot of the advice & wisdom shared by colleagues in answer to your question.
Great panel discussion at NE Public Health Conference 2024 #nephconf24 focussing on innovation, communities & collaboration
We are very fortunate to have Sir Chris Whitty taking questions from the audience during today's North East Public Health Conference #nephconf24
Questions included his heroes, anti-science, tackling mental/physical health ill-health, and Public Health priorities.
Engaging presentation from Andy Lloyd, Head of Media & Communications at Fresh and Balance, discussing the role of mass media campaigns in influencing behaviour and policy in the alcohol and tobacco industry.
Sharing the harms, how it is commercially driven, and the countermeasures.

#nephconf24 Professor Kevin Fenton brilliantly answering a question about how we promote public health in the times of social media and misinformation… definitely one of the new frontiers to explore!
Shame not to be at the #NEPHConf24 today. If you're there be sure to visit Kirsty Roe from LKIS talking about the Andy Billet apprentice programme. Some fantastic work undertaken worthy of the scheme's namesake with many apprentices now in permanent public health intelligence roles.
#nephconf24 Professor Kevin Fenton addresses the conference talking about the complex times for health of the population. Important to highlight the impacts of structural racism and the climate crises. Professor Fenton argues we need new ways of working to deal with complexity
Excited about tomorrow #nephconf24 The programme is excellent & includes mindfulness sessions & a guided walk (always my favourite in a conference). I will be presenting with CPH colleagues (3 minutes each) on our experiences embedding public health in NHS trusts👇Hope for some Bluesky presence!
