Audio – Interview with Past President IHPE Sylvia Cheater MBE

In this interview we discuss Sylvia’s career from Financial management, having her own family and then into Barnados charity. Next into NHS oral health and nutrition, introducing water access to school children and the 5 a day fruit offering in the North West. Currently working as a patient champion, still making sure individuals receive the health and welling they deserve no matter their circumstances and background. We chat about health policy being a huge driver in making change for better health. Telling people to stop was less efficient and ineffective. We finally explore the benefits of the digital age for health but also the risks of APPS online offering health benefits with no evidence base. Health Promotion is for the course of life from before birth to older age.
