Really really exciting that we have been successful in getting North Lincolnshire to play a significant role in how the health sector across England supports adults to develop a more active lifestyle. Great work from the team in finding the opportunity and producing a fantastic application... luckily chatting to me didn't de-select us :) NL Active Marie Hughes Lee Bettis Faye Colver “Currently, one in four of us is living with multiple long-term health conditions. That statistic is set to rise to two thirds of people aged over 65 by 2035. We know that our health care systems are under pressure, yet physical activity could help prevent up to 40% of these conditions. Furthermore, a more active lifestyle could help to manage more than 20 of the most common physical and mental health conditions.” From right across the physical activity and health sectors, these 39 organisations will join one of five communities of practice to support the co-design element of the project.

We are on the countdown to hosting our first Challenger Seminar Series for 2024!    Next week, we will see a distinguished panel of speakers address some big questions at the nexus of health and policy. How can community health and wellbeing in Queensland take a giant leap forward by 2050?  How could the 2032 Brisbane Olympics contribute to this?  And what role can other community activities, like the performing arts, help?  With players across academia, preventative health, the arts and beyond all working together to achieve positive public health outcomes, the time has now come to ask, ‘what can we all do?’.  Questions around the challenges and roles of those in public purpose work when it comes to the future of public health will be asked at what will be an engaging and insightful Challenger Seminar.  Held on the 27th June at 1WS, you will connect with an esteemed panel of leading experts who will share their insight and perspective and shed light on the opportunities and solutions that require collective action across Queensland.  Free for individual members and discounted for organisational members, we are excited to present this Challenger in partnership with Health and Wellbeing Queensland.  An essential event for anyone interested in public health, public purpose collaboration, and those wanting to understand more about dealing with complexity with creativity in public policy.  Secure your seat now. https://lnkd.in/gTP3j9gB #ipaainsights #ipaaqld2024 #keepinformed #challengeyourthinking #keepinformed

📢 Free webinar: Boosting health in Local Plans (Mon 30 September, 2-3pm) Local government planners and public health officers can learn how to make best use of a new framework for creating healthy Local Plans in a free webinar. Co-hosted by the TCPA and TRUUD (Tackling Root causes upstream of Unhealthy Urban Development), the webinar will launch and explore the new framework which provides evidence, guidance and inspiration for building in health to Local Plans at the earliest opportunity. The framework was created with planning and public health officers from seven local authorities in England – Bristol City Council, Guildford Borough Council, Medway Council, Northumberland County Council, Southampton City Council, Surrey County Council, Walsall Council – in response to research that found that although Local Plans are key documents for creating healthy places, they are often weak and inconsistent on how exactly this can be achieved. A briefing note, 'Developing a Healthy Planning Framework', sets out the research and steps towards improving the inclusion of health for Local Plans and TCPA Healthy Place-making webpages contain further useful resources.
