The UK Salt Challenge: What is it going to take to get action?

Wednesday 16th March 2022 8pm

With the future of the obesity strategy currently in jeopardy, we reflect on the often-forgotten issue of salt reduction, and what lack of Government action could mean for public health in the UK. 

During this special edition roundtable during Salt Awareness Week, leading experts will cover the successes and failures of salt policy in the UK, and how it compares to other countries, and what steps can we take to get action? 

Our Chairman and world expert on salt reduction Professor Graham MacGregor, will be joined by:

• Dr. Sarah Jarvis GP,
• Juliette Kellow Registered Dietitian
• Amanda Ursell Nutrition Consultant
• Joanne Lunn Health Manager at John Lewis Partnership
• Kimberley Neve Researcher at the Centre for Food Policy at City, University of London
