SUMMARY:Seminar - Dr Alison Tedstone
DESCRIPTION:All are invited to the CEDAR/MRC Epidemiology Seminar by:\n \nDr Alison Tedstone\, Chief Nutritionist Public Health England (PHE).\n\nTackling obesity in England: a policy journey\n\nMeeting Rooms 1&2\, Level 4\, Institute of Metabolic Science\, Cambridge Biomedical Campus\n\nAbstract\nIn the seminar I will reflect on the key steps in developing current policy on obesity\, with a focus on evidence to action including how evidence from the Scientific Advisory Committee on Nutrition and Public Health England (PHE) was used. The importance of NGO’s\, academics\, media and other stakeholders as well as public opinion will be considered. The implementation policies that PHE is responsible for will be reviewed and what might be impactful in the future. \nAbout Dr Tedstone\n\nDr Alison Tedstone is Deputy Director with responsibility for diet\, nutrition and obesity in the Health Improvement Directorate of Public Health England (PHE). Her teams work areas include the National Diet and Nutrition Survey\, nutrient composition of foods\, scientific advice on nutrition (including the Scientific Advisory Committee on Nutrition)\, and advice on nutrition and actions to improve diet\, including work underpinning the government’s Childhood Obesity Plan with the food industry to reduce the sugar\, salt and calorie content of everyday foods. The division also coordinates\, across PHE\, a programme of work aimed at tackling the nation’s obesity problem which supports national and local level delivery\, including actions aimed at improving systems leadership and addressing the environmental causes of obesity. \nAlison transferred with other nutrition colleagues from the Department of Health in 2013 and before that from the Food Standards Agency (FSA) in 2010. Before joining the FSA\, in 2001\, Alison was an academic at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine.
