Inspiring, informative and educated video from Fiona Quigley who has lived her whole life with #obesity She says people need support in the same way people who smoke are encouraged to quit with services and legislation #NI_WSALearningEvent

Lived experience reflections from @FionaQuigs at today’s #NI_WSALearningEvent were powerful. A systems shift needs a ripple effect – moving WSA from “what’s wrong with me?” to “what’s wrong with the system?” @nichstweet @NIHR_PHIRST @publichealthni

It's encouraging to hear @mikenesbittni talk about the importance of tackling #obesity inequalities in NI at a conference on addressing obesity using whole systems. Obesity is the second biggest cause of cancer and the inequalities gap in NI is widening. #NI_WSALearningEvent

@nichstweet #NI_WSALearningEvent @NIHR_PHIRST @publichealthni I am delighted to be at the WSA Obesity Event with @breslin_g providing an overview of WSA obesity research. With a psychology & public health background we know a systems approach to improve health & equity is needed
Last week @NIHR_PHIRST collaborated with @publichealthni to host a #NI_WSALearningEvent at @QUBelfast showcasing learning from national, regional and local WSA experts. A little summary of the event highlights to follow a 🧵
Finally, we were chuffed to hear from Deputy Chief Medical Office, Dr Chada, who's working on implementating the new Healthy Futures Obesity Strategic Framework featuring the WSA. He noted the need to look to this event & outputs as part of the process. #NI_WSALearningEvent
@ProfKEBrown wrapped up with thanks to @publichealthni, panellists and presenters and everyone who attended and participated in the @NIHR_PHIRST evaluation. Thanks to @ESRC Impact Accelerator Award for funding the event! And @QUBelfast for hosting! #NI_WSALearningEvent
After the regional perspective, we were delighted to hear from Fiona Quigley, a person with lived experience. We must stop blaming individuals for societal influences! #NI_WSALearningEvent
Our National Panel with experts @DuncanRadley and from @P_H_S_Official @PublicHealthW @publichealthni @HSELive shared their varying experiences and advocated for high-level leadership and resourcing for WSA success #NI_WSALearningEvent
