UK Health Security Agency’s Post

We don’t fear the enemy we don’t see- this & 33 of its allies cause the second highest number of deaths globally. 90% of infections & sepis cases start in the community, cause overuse of antibiotics & resistance. Vaccines prevent specific infections. Effective hand hygiene behaviour (technique, duration & frequency) kills them all. Traditional analog disconnected workplace wash basins have <20% TDF compliance Handsteco AI digital twin tech enabled 100%TDF compliant HoT zones transforms every hand washing episode into a digital unit of disinfection of hands in workplaces in communities. Infection control is always in our hands. https://lnkd.in/eU9uKhNw

The recent E. coli outbreaks highlight a critical issue: the rise of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). This makes infections harder to treat, posing a significant public health threat. Vigilance in food safety, proper hygiene, and responsible antibiotic use are crucial to combat this challenge. Stay informed and prioritize health safety! #PublicHealth #AMR #FoodSafety #Ecoli #HealthAlert

🍟 Regulation and risks of food products Over 90 years have passed since the House of Lords’ ruling in Donoghue v. Stevenson, and the obligations on manufacturers to produce food products that are safe for human consumption have become ever more prevalent as time has gone on. In this article, Samantha Silver, Emilie Civatte, LL.M. and Paula Margolis of Kennedys consider several factors affecting food safety, the risks arising from them, and how, and to what extent, these factors shape the current and future regulatory landscape in the EU and UK post-Brexit. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/eAHQxJSk #ProductLiability #FoodSafety

A great blog. We are not going to get coherent food system outcomes without coherent food system actions and coherent food systems policy is a big part of that. Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN) and AKADEMIYA2063 are working on a tool to help governments assess their current policy coherence. Watch this space.

Food systems policies cut across many areas, including health, environment, and trade. How do we ensure that those policies are aligned to share goals, as opposed to pulling in opposite directions? We’ll be starting a new policy coherence project to find out – read more in our blog 👇

Perfect coherence among all food-related policies for all outcomes is unlikely to be achieved. This may not be desirable, given the coordination and alignment costs and possibly minor effects in the levels of incoherence. However, identifying and managing the most important synergies and trade-offs, governments can achieve ‘good enough coherence’ and get all oars pulling in the same direction towards their most important goals. #healthierdietsforAll
