The conference report of the first ever Food &; Health Alliance event, which took place in February 2007, is now available.
More than 150 members of Scotland's food and health workforce attended the event in Glasgow called Looking back &; moving forward: A celebration of the successes of the Scottish Diet Action Plan (PDF, 4.68Mb). The meeting allowed delegates to celebrate the successes of the Scottish Diet Action Plan (SDAP) and to plan how to move forward. Although there is still much to be done, the overall mood of the meeting was positive, with most agreeing there had been enormous progress in implementing the SDAP in the past decade.
The report covers Professor Peter Donnelly's Opening Address, the picture gallery and summaries of the workshops, which reflected what factors had contributed to success, wishes for the future and imagining the future direction. It concludes with the Scottish Executive's vision for emerging direction for food and health in Scotland.
