Tackling obesity in the UK
Tackling obesity in the UK☜With concern growing that the Foresight analysis—that 50% of the UK population could be obese by 2050, at an annual cost to the nation of around £50 billion per year [2]—substantially underestimates the scale of the unfolding obesity crisis, the College of Contemporary Health is working with the wider policy community to develop a whole systems map of the obesity crisis and the potential responses.☜F1CEB7

Tackling obesity
Tackling obesity☜Many policy interventions have been suggested to address the obesity crisis across multiple studies—and indeed many such measures have been implemented, and are being implemented, now. Theres recognition too that these interventions need to be part of a coherent and comprehensive whole systems strategy [4]; with some grounds for optimism that such an approach has the potential to accomplish a significant reduction in the prevalence of obesity in the UK across the next decade.

Adopt a whole systems approach to obesity
Adopt a whole systems approach to obesity☜Tackling obesity effectively—accomplishing a population wide-shift—requires a comprehensive and integrated whole systems approach, involving a range of measures focusing on individuals, social and other systems, including at the local and community level, and on the interrelated physical, physiological, social and cognitive factors that determine health outcomes.☜5CA4D9

Improve collaboration across organisational boundaries
Improve collaboration across organisational boundaries☜Effective collaboration across organisational boundaries is vital to achieving and sustaining constructive progress in the face of complex, systemic problems—and to leveraging the energy, insight and resources distributed across the network of organisations to maximum effect.☜5CA4D9

Appoint an obesity champion or tsar
Appoint an obesity champion or tsar☜Appoint a government obesity champion to drive a coordinated obesity strategy between and across central government departments which include Health, the Treasury, Sport, Education, Agriculture, the Department of Work and Pensions, and local government for the local environment. This person should have a strong but politically independent status (e.g. a member of the House of Lords) with the skills and authority to address issues which need multiple government departmental involvement.☜5CA4D9
