Sales of unhealthy foods in Australia are high and continuing to increase says new research from @emgearon, @devriesenberg & colleagues. To improve population diets we must involve supermarkets in public health initiatives https://t.co/6LqAdhkQzD #buyhealthy

New research: Australian sales data shows sales for almost all junk food products are high and increasing. Over 4.5kg of processed meat, 4.5kg of chocolate and 9L of ice cream per person were sold in 2017 https://t.co/8W4dlfrpdG @GLOBE_obesity @IHT_Deakin #buyhealthy

My final PhD paper was published in @anzjph today!
We show that obesity treatment and prevention efforts must be equitable. Each year inequality in obesity causes over 3,500 deaths and costs us over $1 billion @IHT_Deakin @GLOBE_obesity @Monash_SPHPM https://t.co/ERenMt9mh1

We can improve patient safety & health inequities together if we 1) stratify healthcare safety data by sociodemographic characteristics, and 2) make health equity a clear priority | NEJM https://t.co/9q6Jwq7GEr

Aboriginal communities must have control over programs that affect their children’s health and wellbeing. This speaks to the heart of what we have been discussing in here in Salzburg #SGShealth

Those experiencing social injustices are least-represented in decision making processes. We must act to improve health with intentional action to reduce inequities. #SGShealth

[Alexandra Chung @chung_alexandra]

When it comes to children’s health and well-being there are many services, run by many government departments. The system is difficult to navigate. We need to coordinate, integrate and improve access to these services to reduce inequities. #SGShealth

Great to see leadership from @GeelongCats, making exiting from #gambling related advertising and revenue a win-win for the club and for public health.
Hopefully paves the way to changes in social norms.

.@IanDGraham1 every researcher should be doing this as a minimum (you have to write this in your grants, so do it!), BUT do it judiciously. Not strong evidence? Be careful shouting it from the rooftops! (Simplification in brackets from @trishgreenhalgh, of course!) #HSR19

Loved the cartoons from David Brain @AusHSI

Engagement with stakeholders can be hard, but should never be done because it “should be”; you should be prepared to change your approach, idea or innovation following engagement, otherwise there’s no point doing it.
