North East Obesogenic Environment Network
http://www.neoen.org.uk/
Dear Colleague,
We are writing to invite you to join and be a part of the North East Obesogenic Environment Network (NEOeN).
The term ‘Obesogenic Environment’ relates to the influences that contribute towards obesity, such as our surroundings, opportunities or life conditions. These include eating behaviour, physical activity, urban planning and design, policy, transport, environment, and culture.
North East Obesogenic Environment Network has been recently established to initiate integrated working partnerships within research, practice and the wider community.
The objective of NEOeN is to provide a networking facility across practice, academia and communities. Through cross-sectoral partnerships, there is potential to impact on the rising obesity rates in the North East of England.
NEOeN operates to terms of reference with a steering group, and is open to anyone with an interest in this agenda, regardless of their professional background.
We believe the strength of the network is in our membership and we would like to invite you to join us.
If you would like to join NEOeN or would like any further information, please see our website www.neoen.org.uk
On 17th October 2007 Foresight launched Tackling Obesities: Future Choices. The project aimed to produce a long-term vision of how we can deliver a sustainable response to obesity in the UK over the next 40 years.
In Jan 2008, the National Institute of Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) will launch Public Health Guidance on Physical Activity and Environment. http://www.nice.org.uk/guidance/index.jsp?action=byID&o=11679
The guidance is for NHS and NON NHS professionals who have a direct or indirect role in and responsibility for the environment. This includes those working in local authorities, education, community, voluntary and private sectors.
Both of these pieces of work mark a new way of working, and NEOeN provides a facility for the North East to support this.
We look forward to hearing from you, and welcoming you to the network!
