A great day at the @EPICfoodstudy event hearing the findings of their important research. A highlight was definitely listening to the inspirational 19-year old Jacob Rosenberg talking so passionately about BiteBack’s young voices campaign on school food provisions!

With the summer holidays fast approaching, I'd like to wish our Schools Research Network school staff a very well-deserved, restful summer break ❤️
The @unibirmingham would like to invite parents of primary and secondary school children to take part in a Digital Detox (a ‘timeout’ from technology) study
- each participant will receive £25 for their time. You can take part whether your child has done a digital detox or not!

The NHS was never meant to go it alone when it comes to building a healthy society. Good health is also dependent on factors such as stable jobs, good pay, quality housing and good education.
@JoBibbyTHF reflects how these are crucial to our health ⬇️
