from Prevention is the New Cure
Is the UK's health system upside down? In this episode of 'Prevention is the New Cure,' former Health Minister Lord James Bethell and Tony Blair Institute’s Dr. Charlotte Refsum sit down with Professor Susan Jebb (Chair of the Food Standards Agency) to discuss why the UK is failing to prevent chronic disease.From the "socialisation of acute care" to the biological reality of GLP-1 weight-loss drugs, we dive deep into the policy failures and industrial barriers keeping Britain sick. Professor Jebb explains why "willpower" is a myth in a toxic food environment and why the government needs to stop "leaving the food system to Tesco."Connect with the Podcast: 📧 Email: [email protected] 📱 WhatsApp: 0333 4046507 ✅ Subscribe for weekly insights from the heart of health politics!Sponsored by Pulselight.
