Sparkes to speak at 2012 Healthy Conference
ASA Chief Executive David Sparkes will address a conference in London next month on how the London 2012 Olympic Games can have a significant impact on the health of the nation.
The conference, which takes place on Wednesday 7 November at the University of East London will also be attended by Keynote speaker the Right Honourable Tessa Jowell, Minster for the Olympics and for London.
Health and Wellbeing: the legacy challenge conference looks at how we can use the one-off opportunity of the London 2012 Games to create both quick wins and sustainable gains in public health, regeneration, sustainable place-making, individual and community well-being and quality of life.
London faces huge public health challenges. To tackle these, NHS organisations are increasingly working with local government, social landlords, universities and colleges, community and voluntary agencies. The Wanless reform agenda is also strongly pushing health services in the direction of change.
This conference is a chance to create new coalitions for change and explore more effective ways of working together. Join participants including Richard Budgett (Chief Medical Officer, London 2012), Sarah Ebanja (London Development Agency), Nic Marks (New Economics Foundation), government, NHS, voluntary sector staff, policy and development professionals, practitioners and researchers.
Places are limited - early registration is recommended. Book your place.
