Sir Michael Marmot to Present Keynote at WHPA Regulation Conference
> Early bird registration deadline 15 February 2016 - register here> View list of speakers
The conference, entitled ‘Health
professional regulation - facing challenges to acting in the public
interest’, will be held at the Crowne Plaza Hotel, and will be addressed
by speakers from across the world.
Sir Michael, Director of the
Institute of Health Equity at UCL, University of London, and a
world-renowned expert on the social determinants of health, has spent
his research life showing that the key determinants of health lie
outside the health care system in the conditions in which people are
born, grow, live, work and age. He will talk about how inequities in
power, money and resources give rise to the inequities in conditions of
daily life.
He says: ‘The way we organise
our affairs, at the community level or, indeed at the whole societal
level, are matters of life and death. As healthcare professionals we
cannot stand idly by while our patients suffer from the way our
societies are organised. Inequality of social and economic conditions is
at the heart of it.'

Survey
The WCPT subgroup, the International Organisation of Physical Therapists in Paediatrics (IOPTP), is conducting a survey to explore the involvement of physical therapists in the area of childhood obesity. In order to address the challenge of childhood obesity it is essential that all health workers are confident in providing education, support and evidence-based treatment. Physical therapists play a key role in the promotion of health in all individuals regardless of their physical ability, shape or size.
To help inform the future work of IOPTP please complete the short online questionnaire at: www.surveymonkey.com/r/LHF6WK7. The survey is open until 1st March 2016.
Report
Earlier this week the Commission on Ending Childhood Obesity (ECHO) presented its final report to WHO. The report proposes a range of recommendations for governments aimed at reversing the rising trend of children aged under 5 years becoming overweight and obese.
