This webinar organised by Obesity Action Scotland and Public Health Scotland explored how advocates, strategists, and practitioners might yet place communities at the heart of the decisions that determine their diet and healthy weight. It featured Corinna Hakes, Kelly McBride, Kevin Ditcham and Lesley Forsyth, explored three recent case studies to find lessons that will help us in our new COVID-19 shaped context. Our expert speakers will provide insight into how Scotland’s local public health systems could contribute to Scotland’s whole system recovery by engaging directly with communities (even when socially distanced).
