Last day in Geneva @ChurchillTrust: online meeting with @k_srensen "health literacy is like a kitchen sink- we all need to get in and help" & face to face with nicole valentine from SDoH & HiAP @WHO we discussed the need to consider a shift to a health and wellbeing economy.

Talk to parents of high school students and they will tell you they are worried about this. Talk to teachers and this is the reaction you get 👇👇

Meeting (7/7/2023) @WHO with Trinette, Yasmin & @Fatenhealth to discuss my @ChurchillTrust question: is health literacy a health, education & community issue? Great alignment in thinking. This was conversation one of hopefully many! You will have to read my report to see answer..

Slower day 2day, morning run in Geneva. Easily in my top 3 cities! Looking forward to visit @WHO this Thur 6/7 to meet staff in healthy cities, healthy settings & health promoting schools 2 discuss health literacy as important to achieving health & equity 4all. @ChurchillTrust

To help #beatNCDs, #India, #Maldives, #SriLanka, and #Thailand introduced a tax on sugary drinks, and a ban on sale in schools 🏫. #WHD2023 #HealthForAll

My @ChurchillTrust journey ends soon. My international peers answered my question is health literacy: heath/education/community issue. Many thanked me for starting this conversation in their country. Upon my return we need to talk about this for the sake of Australia's children.

The AHPA Board has resolved to confer the award of Life Member of the Association to Professor James Smith. The nomination recognises James for his dedication, commitment & exemplary service across all areas of AHPA & to the broader health promotion community. #AHPAAGM23

Wow...just wow...thanks @OsloMet and friends for making my time in Oslo so productive. Great to share knowledge @kirstiri @SolviHelseth & team and I am super excited for what future opportunities exist. Great work, health literacy in Norway is in great hands! @ChurchillTrust

Switzerland is the 3rd largest donor to UN Women’s core resources. Core support enables rapid and flexible response to the emerging challenges that women and girls face globally. #FundingGenderEquality

Happing now at @Europarl_EN EUPHA fully supports this call for multi-annual #operatinggrants for health NGOs. This is needed for independence, continuity, level playing field. Read our editorial in #EJPH on this: https://t.co/3XP6XwY6WV With @milkasklvc

Dear women, Know that you are capable of amazing things, and never let anyone tell you otherwise. Period. RT and empower other women!

Thanks to Rasmus Baagland & Tue Kristensen from the Health Directorate in Copenhagen. Great to hear @SSTSundhed started their health literacy journey 4 years ago, with focus on health using "8 paths to a health literacy organisation". Great that workplaces & kindergartens next.

A @ChurchillTrust highlight, my visit to UN City (23/6/23) to meet with @WHO_Europe to discuss importance of health literacy for children & adolescents (Anastasia Koylyu, Siff Nielsen & Stef Harsch-Oria). Much agreement & commitment to continue focus together.Pinching myself!

These face2face meetings with my fellow health literacy experts only made possible by my wonderful Churchill Fellowship. I cherished our time together & look forward to many more discussions & shared memories in the future at international conferences, Copenhagen & Tasmania!

With heartfelt gratitude for my Copenhagen tour guide @HarschStefanie . Your local know how and talent for matching my interests with what your wonderful city has to offer are your key competencies!!! @ChurchillTr

@HarschStefanie thankyou for our thinking time together. Hopefully there is many more!

Stefani & I were able to have thoughtful health literacy conversation for 20hrs..as we rode, walked, swam & explored Copenhagen.

From time2time we meet generous & heart driven people. They see life the same but differently. They are passionate & can create a safe space for discussion, questions & growth.
