Who is responsible for creating health?
Health isn't made in hospitals but where we live, work and play.
Join us for an insightful panel discussion examining how creating the conditions for health sits not in healthcare but across government, businesses, communities, and individuals. From our homes, schools, and workplaces to social connections through faith groups, arts organisations, sports clubs out to parks, public spaces and our natural environment and how these directly shape our wellbeing.
In this session, we will break down the foundational pillars of everyday health, including good housing, green spaces, active travel and movement, community connections, and a strong start in childhood. We will highlight real world examples of what is already working on the ground and discuss practical strategies to scale these solutions for lasting impact.
