What's the agenda?

Choice can mean empowerment or a license of advantage for the better off. How do we ensure Choosing Health remains targeted on reducing health inequality? How do healthy lifestyles surveys and prevalence research help to measure the scale of problems such as obesity, physical activity, alcohol consumption and smoking? Are the ‘Safe, Sensible, Social‘ goals of the 2008 alcohol strategy being met? Can Social Marketing help bring about lifestyle changes? How is it best to evaluate primary care health interventions to check that results are being achieved? Can community pharmacies survive the challenge posed by ‘polyclinics‘? What Workplace Health Initiatives deliver real benefits in employee health and employer performance?
