“Innovation is seeing what everybody has seen, and thinking what nobody has thought”

Dr Albert Szent-Györgyi

 

Calling all health and care staff/volunteers working to tackle the obesity problem in the North East and North Cumbria! We need your innovations, ideas, and commitment to driving real change at LOC in the Lakes 2024…

The challenges we face in health and care in our region are immense, and one of the most significant of these issues is the rising level of obesity. Currently, nearly a third of our children are either overweight or obese before they reach the age of 15. Just think of what this means for the future of our communities – not only in terms of the risks to physical, mental, and social health – but also in terms of the pressure on our already-stretched services.

But there is hope – obesity IS mostly preventable. We must ask ourselves, ‘what is the difference that will make the difference this time?’.

We know that the answer isn’t as simple as diet and exercise. We need to:

  • take a whole family approach to health and wellbeing;
  • think beyond what’s possible; and
  • turn our minds to the groundbreaking and radical solutions.

Only then will we be able to revolutionise health and wellbeing for all.

That’s why LOC in the Lakes 2024 will be focusing on tackling obesity in the North East and North Cumbria. At the event, we’ll be bringing people together to learn from local innovations, create fresh ideas for change, and carry on the real work that will help make the difference.

Come along with your innovation and improvement ideas, no matter how big or small! There will be an opportunity as part of the day to get support from our innovation and improvement hub, which will be hosted by Health Innovation North East and North Cumbria as our sponsors.

Please join us to be part of something amazing – book your place today!

The event will be held at Carlisle Racecourse, Durdar Road, Carlisle, Cumbria, CA2 4TS
