Abstract
In the seminar I will reflect on the key steps in developing current policy on obesity, with a focus on evidence to action including how evidence from the Scientific Advisory Committee on Nutrition and Public Health England (PHE) was used. The importance of NGO ’s, academics, media and other stakeholders as well as public opinion will be considered. The implementation policies that PHE is responsible for will be reviewed and what might be impactful in the future.
