I've been reflecting on the recent British Society of Lifestyle Medicine conference, and the value of health through the life course. Given my recent experience of parenthood, I am aware it takes a village to raise a child. But I've also been reflecting on the fact it takes a village (with its intergenerational support and socialisation) to keep us all healthy. This aligns with the recent Darzi report, calling for 'prevention and community health', and follows some recent conversations I have been having with Andrew Telfer, who shared this wonderful quote with me by Wendell Berry. What does community health look like to you? And how can we enact it? Here's hoping we can seize the momentum afforded by the Lord Darzi report!
