The changes raise new opportunities for the transport and health sectors to enable achievement of mutually beneficial aims. Stronger links between the two sectors can help us to achieve improved health of the population, reduced levels of obesity, and a reduced resultant strain on NHS budgets through embedding active travel into the population’s daily lives. This event will provide an opportunity to identify the support both health and transport professionals can call on, to assist with development and delivery of complementary programmes now and in the future.
Speakers:
Eleanor Roaf (Sustrans NW Regional Director)
Colin Cox (Public Health Consultant, Manchester City Council)
Nick Vaughan (Head of Transport Planning and Solutions – TfGM)
Dan Cassell (Transport and Access Manager – GM NHS)
NICE will also be represented
The presentations will be followed by a question and answer session.
