In February 2016 the Public Health Collaboration (PHC) was formed in the UK because despite the best efforts of some incredible individuals, public health continues to get worse and worse year upon year. The PHC has brought together healthcare professionals to speak as one voice as well as harnessing the energy of the public for real food. In this talk the director of the Public Health Collaboration, Sam Feltham, will explain why the PHC was formed, how the PHC harnesses the energy of the public to create change and go into detail about what progress the PHC has made over the past year as well as what the future holds.
