It's Public Health Winter School today, where the focus is on working in a political environment. The day has opened with reflections from Professor Peter Kelly (Regional Director for Public Health in the North East and Yorkshire) on the importance of gaining consensus across the political spectrum.

The start of the new year is often a time to make positive changes to promote our health.

#DryJanuary is a campaign from @alcoholchangeuk.bsky.social to encourage people to have an alcohol-free January.
