Aim of the Tutorial:

The morning session aims to provide Registrars with an overview of Spatial Planning and Health including how the planning process operates and opportunities for public health to influence the creation of healthier environments (via examples from Bristol). and to give them opportunity to discuss the knowledge to become confident of using it in their Public Health practice.

 

The afternoon sessions aims to provide registrars with an overview of Food and Drink (including alcohol) Regulation, introducing registrars to the role of Trading Standards and Environmental Health in regulation, how public health can work more effectively with our colleagues to promote health, and an introduction to the pioneering Sustainable Food Movement in Bristol.

 

Objectives of the Tutorial:

 

  • To provide a good overview of what healthy spatial planning is and mechanisms to achieve this,
  • To become familiar with the key players in creating healthier environments and their roles,
  • To update knowledge on Health Impact Assessment and tools related to healthy spatial planning,
  • To develop a good knowledge base of food and drink regulation currently important to Public Health practice,
  • To become familiar with the processes and key players in promoting health through regulation,
  • To develop awareness of sustainable food as an emerging Public Health issue.
