As part of the Healthway Fellowship Scheme, the Public Health Advocacy Institute hosted two visiting fellows from the UK - Jane Landon and Dr Tim Lobstein. During March and April they hosted a number of professional development seminars and workshops on their work and research into overweight and obesity. A copy of the report written by Dr Tim Lobstein while in Perth,  "Tackling the challenge of obesity", can be downloaded here. 

12 Advocacy Targets set for Overweight and Obesity

In 2008 the PHAIWA organised an Obesity Forum attended by approximately 140 professionals from public health and related areas to discuss the development of agreed priority areas for advocacy on obesity in WA.  To progress the outcomes we recently convened a workshop with a smaller group of experts from organisations with which we work to distil these down further. The result of the workshop was agreement on 12 Advocacy Targets for Overweight and Obesity.
