Fuse, Teesside University, Newcastle University, OHID: Planning for a Healthier Food Environment

A new, free e-learning course called Planning for a Healthier Food Environment has been launched to support local authorities and communities in using the planning system to promote healthier diets and reduce obesity. The course was developed through a collaborative effort between Fuse (the Centre for Translational Research in Public Health), academic experts from Teesside University and Newcastle University, and the Office for Health Improvement and Disparities (OHID).

This one-hour online event will introduce the wider policy and planning context for the course, provide insights into its cross-disciplinary development, and outline how the resource can be applied in practice to support healthier, more equitable environments.
