A fantastic coffee morning in Stockland Green today.
Nothing is more important than listening to local residents and picking up on the issues that matter to them. One of the best parts of my job!
Looking forward to the next one.

At @commonshealth.bsky.social today, I asked @nihrhapru.bsky.social's Prof Cris Todd about exercise to prevent frailty in older people.
Exercises like tai chi and yoga were common ways to keep older people exercising, but these successful programs often disappear when the initial funding dries up.

During our @commonshealth.bsky.social enquiry on Food and Weight Management, I asked Nika Pajda from @biteback2030.bsky.social about how mobile apps fuel unhealthy eating amongst young people.
With junk food marketed straight to our phones, it’s never been easier to make unhealthy choices.
