The document outlines Public Health England's strategic marketing priorities and approach for 2014-2017. It discusses focusing marketing efforts locally, through partnerships, and ensuring activities are evidence-based and transparent. It also describes developing "on demand" digital public health products and allocating spending based on a new model that scores health topics on several impact factors. The approach will organize activities by lifestage, integrating with screening programs, and potentially restructuring some brands under a single national brand.

Expo is the most significant annual health and social care event in the calendar, uniting more NHS and care leaders, commissioners, clinicians, voluntary sector partners, innovators and media than any other health and care event.
Expo 15 returned to Manchester and was hosted once again by NHS England. Around 5000 people a day from health and care, the voluntary sector, local government, and industry joined together at Manchester Central Convention Centre for two packed days of speakers, workshops, exhibitions and professional development.
This year, Expo was more relevant and engaging than ever before, happening within the first 100 days of the new Government, and almost 12 months after the publication of the NHS Five Year Forward View. It was also a great opportunity to check on and learn from the progress of Greater Manchester as the area prepares to take over a £6 billion devolved health and social care budget, pledging to integrate hospital, community, primary and social care and vastly improve health and well-being.

Mental illness is common and disabling but the evidence is that fewer than half of people seek any treatment and few receive any help from specialized mental health professionals. In Canada, there are long waiting lists to see psychological therapists face to face despite the importance of non-drug therapies. One way to address this problem is to use computerized e-therapies which deliver structured mental health treatment via a computer. Dr. Simon Hatcher, Psychiatrist at The Royal's Community Mental Health Program and Vice Chair of Research for the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Ottawa, lead a discussion about the role of technology in mental health treatment. Highlights include: the effectiveness of online mental health treatments and opportunities for innovation and policy change in field of mental health.

Health Evidence hosted a 90 minute webinar examining the effectiveness of food supplementation programmes for improving the physical and psychosocial health of socio-economically disadvantaged children.
Dr. Elizabeth Kristjansson, Professor, School of Psychology, University of Ottawa, led the session and presented findings from her latest Cochrane review:

Food supplementation for improving the physical and psychosocial health of socio‐economically disadvantaged children aged three months to five years. Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews,2015(2), Art. No.: CD009924
Undernutrition has contributed to the deaths of more than three million children in 2011. Evidence about the effectiveness of food supplementation interventions for young children is fundamentally important for governments, funding agencies, and children themselves. This review examines the effectiveness of supplementary food programmes for improving the health of disadvantaged children. 32 (21 RCTs and 11 CBAs) studies from mostly low- and middle- income countries are included in this review. In low- and middle-income countries, providing additional food to children aged three months to five years led to small gains in weight (0.24kg/year in RCTs and CBAs) and height (0.54cm/year in RCTs only), and moderate increases in haemoglobin. This webinar highlighted factors that contribute to the effectiveness of child supplementation programmes as well as implications for practice.

Evaluability assessments in public health
Evaluability assessments are completed before an evaluation and are designed to maximize the chances that a subsequent evaluation will result in useful information. Evaluability assessments point the way to evaluations that have the best chance of revealing important information by facilitating the following:
Shed light on disagreements among stakeholders
Describe the logic of a program
Indicate the need for adjustments in activities and resources
Inform stakeholders about options for evaluation and their potential usefulness
Reveal problems before decision makers commit to a formal evaluation
How can the evaluability assessment method help you?
Evaluability assessments are described as cyclical, iterative processes that build an understanding of the program design, the underlying program logic model or theory of change, and the opportunities for useful evaluation and potential program improvement.
Evaluation is one of the public health competencies and this method helps public health professionals conduct evaluations of programs, policies or practices.

Dr. Reed A.C. Siemieniuk, MD, PhD(c), Department of Medicine, University of Toronto, Department of Health Research Methods, Evidence, and Impact, McMaster University led the session and presented findings from their recent systematic review:
Siemieniuk R, Foroutan F, Mirza R, Mah Ming J, Alexander PE, Agarwal A, et al. (2017). Antiretroviral therapy for pregnant women living with HIV or hepatitis B: A systematic review and meta-analysis. BMJ Open, 7(9), e019022.
This review assesses the impact of various antiretroviral/antiviral regimens in pregnant women living with HIV or hepatitis B virus (HBV). Forty-three studies were included in the review. The most common comparison was tenofovir and emtricitabine versus zidovudine and lamivudine. There was no apparent difference between tenofovir-based regimens and alternatives in maternal outcomes, including serious laboratory adverse events and serious clinical adverse events. There was no difference between NRTIs in vertical transmission of HIV or vertical transmission of HBV. We found moderate certainty evidence that tenofovir/emtricitabine increases the risk of stillbirths and early neonatal mortality and the risk of early premature delivery at less than 34 weeks. Tenofovir/emtricitabine is likely to increase stillbirth/early neonatal death and early premature delivery compared with zidovudine/lamivudine, but certainty is low when they are not coprescribed with lopinavir/ritonavir. Other outcomes are likely similar between antiretrovirals.
Lyuba Lytvyn, MSc, PhD(c), Department of Health Research Methods, Evidence, and Impact, McMaster University also briefly presented the findings from their linked systematic review on values and preferences of pregnant women with HIV:

Early Intervention: Improving Access to Mental Health by 2020 [Presentations]Sarah Amani
Most mental illnesses begin in adolescence or early adulthood – the vital time in life when we establish our independence. Mental illness can derail this process with long-lasting effects. We know that the earlier we can engage a young person in treatment the better their outcomes – but young people are the least likely to seek help from mental health services. This is not helped by the separation of services at age 18.
The good news is that we know that early intervention makes a difference in getting young people well and keeping them well. Early intervention teams have been established for psychosis in England for the last 12 years. Psychosis is a serious mental illness affecting 1-2% of the population, with about 500 new cases every year in the Oxford AHSN area.
Early intervention in psychosis is a specialist, community-based service providing medical, psychological and family-based treatments. It helps get young people back to work or education and keeps an eye out for any early signs of relapse so that they can be prevented. Early intervention teams are highly valued by young people and their families. They also save the health service money by keeping people well and getting them back to work.
The Early intervention in mental health network will make sure that this best practice is in place across the Oxford AHSN region with the highest standard of care provided everywhere. We also aim to spread this early intervention model across other conditions (such as eating disorders, personality disorder, autistic spectrum conditions) to help more young people.
World class research is being undertaken in Oxford AHSN and across England into early psychosis – both into the causes and to trial new treatments. We aim to make this research available to every patient being seen by our early intervention teams. We will also look to develop new innovations and technologies that could improve the experience of young people receiving mental healthcare.

India Clinical Trials Market: Industry Size and Growth Trends [2030] Analyzed...Kumar Satyam
According to TechSci Research report, "India Clinical Trials Market- By Region, Competition, Forecast & Opportunities, 2030F," the India Clinical Trials Market was valued at USD 2.05 billion in 2024 and is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.64% through 2030. The market is driven by a variety of factors, making India an attractive destination for pharmaceutical companies and researchers. India's vast and diverse patient population, cost-effective operational environment, and a large pool of skilled medical professionals contribute significantly to the market's growth. Additionally, increasing government support in streamlining regulations and the growing prevalence of lifestyle diseases further propel the clinical trials market.
Growing Prevalence of Lifestyle Diseases
The rising incidence of lifestyle diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and cancer is a major trend driving the clinical trials market in India. These conditions necessitate the development and testing of new treatment methods, creating a robust demand for clinical trials. The increasing burden of these diseases highlights the need for innovative therapies and underscores the importance of India as a key player in global clinical research.

CRISPR-Cas9, a revolutionary gene-editing tool, holds immense potential to reshape medicine, agriculture, and our understanding of life. But like any powerful tool, it comes with ethical considerations.
Unveiling CRISPR: This naturally occurring bacterial defense system (crRNA & Cas9 protein) fights viruses. Scientists repurposed it for precise gene editing (correction, deletion, insertion) by targeting specific DNA sequences.
The Promise: CRISPR offers exciting possibilities:
Gene Therapy: Correcting genetic diseases like cystic fibrosis.
Agriculture: Engineering crops resistant to pests and harsh environments.
Research: Studying gene function to unlock new knowledge.
The Peril: Ethical concerns demand attention:
Off-target Effects: Unintended DNA edits can have unforeseen consequences.
Eugenics: Misusing CRISPR for designer babies raises social and ethical questions.
Equity: High costs could limit access to this potentially life-saving technology.
The Path Forward: Responsible development is crucial:
International Collaboration: Clear guidelines are needed for research and human trials.
Public Education: Open discussions ensure informed decisions about CRISPR.
Prioritize Safety and Ethics: Safety and ethical principles must be paramount.
CRISPR offers a powerful tool for a better future, but responsible development and addressing ethical concerns are essential. By prioritizing safety, fostering open dialogue, and ensuring equitable access, we can harness CRISPR's power for the benefit of all. (2998 characters)

Global launch of the Healthy Ageing and Prevention Index 2nd wave – alongside...ILC- UK
The Healthy Ageing and Prevention Index is an online tool created by ILC that ranks countries on six metrics including, life span, health span, work span, income, environmental performance, and happiness. The Index helps us understand how well countries have adapted to longevity and inform decision makers on what must be done to maximise the economic benefits that comes with living well for longer.
Alongside the 77th World Health Assembly in Geneva on 28 May 2024, we launched the second version of our Index, allowing us to track progress and give new insights into what needs to be done to keep populations healthier for longer.
The speakers included:
Professor Orazio Schillaci, Minister of Health, Italy
Dr Hans Groth, Chairman of the Board, World Demographic & Ageing Forum
Professor Ilona Kickbusch, Founder and Chair, Global Health Centre, Geneva Graduate Institute and co-chair, World Health Summit Council

15. Timely Interventions: There are key moments when people’s
behaviours change through the life course
• People generally report improved behaviours in pregnancy and when their children are young, for example
75% of pregnant women say their health is very good or good vs. 68% all adults (GfK NOP, Source 1)
• 16% of 35-44 parents are increasing/higher risk drinkers vs. 24% of 35-44 non-parents (GfK NOP, Source 1)
• Common Good Research, conducted by COI, identified retirement as a key teachable moment for improving
health behaviours (Source 9)
“It’s the thought of it affecting
the baby, that’s the main thing.
It’s constantly on your mind”
(Cragg Ross Dawson,

16. Timely Interventions: People set out with good intentions
but these fade during the day and during the week
• Across the day: people start with healthier food but eat less healthily as the day progresses (IPA Touchpoints, Source
13)
• Through the week: more mums spend time preparing family meals on Mondays than on Saturdays (IPA Touchpoints,
Source 13)
• Over the year: in December, 80% of people plan to make a New Year’s resolution; in January, 27% do; by February, 24%
have already broken their resolution (YouGov, Source 14)

17. Personalised assessment: People find it difficult to
objectively assess their own and their family’s health
• 7% of parents think that their children are underweight (c. 1% are); only 5% think that they are overweight or
obese (c.30% are). (BMRB Source 18; NCMP, Source 2)
• 57% of increasing/higher risk drinkers believe that they are moderate drinkers (GfK NOP, Source
1)
• Drug users are the least worried about the impact of behaviour on health (GfK NOP, Source 1)
“I went to the doctor once and he said
my daughter was obese. I thought
it was totally ridiculous. I mean, she
doesn’t even look overweight.”
(DH, Source 3)

18. Adding to life: Taking up is more attractive than cutting out
• People are more likely to make resolutions to do something positive than cut out
something risky: in January 2012, 58% of people who made a resolution, resolved
to do more exercise and 57% to improve diet, whereas only 16% resolved to cut
down on their drinking and 7% to give up smoking (YouGov, Source 14)

and cigarettes, then the next day I
cycle to work and have some salad
and fruit for lunch. It balances it

23. Creating more opportunities to engage
Content vs campaigns
Whilst there is still a place for conventional advertising there is an opportunity to
produce more, cheaper content in order to address specific target audiences or to test
more innovative ideas without significant promotional investment. E.g MOOCs.
Media strategy
As well as using NHS Choices more effectively, we will experiment with promotional
‘dosage’. SHS results indicate potential for lower media spend over longer periods of time
as more effective – ‘recency’ is increasingly used in commercial sector.
Calendar events
We can use calendar hooks – Ramadan, Valentine’s, World Cup to drive uptake of existing
products more effectively
Participative events
We can support and create participative events that follow the Stoptober model – mass
participation, high quality behavioural support
24. Providing ‘On demand’ Public Health

26. To inform the 14-17strategy we have developed
a new model for allocating marketing spend
The model gives each potential topic for social marketing a score, based
on five factors:
1.Scale
2.Severity
3.Treatability (for secondary prevention)
4.Effectiveness
5.Impact

28. The model outputs support our existing programmes
and suggest new areas for investment
Model outputs Suggested approach
Highest scores for existing activity were: smoking,
early diagnosis (symptomatic), obesity
• Broadly maintain investment and make efficiencies
Highest scores for areas where we currently do little
are Sexual Health and Alcohol
• Alcohol strategic review suggests two regional pilots next FY.
• Sexual health is currently outsourced to THT and FPA. We
could look to add our own work or refocus partners - needs
a review of this area.
Most promising areas for innovation (high priority and
plausibility, limited evidence) are: blood pressure,
cholesterol, healthcheck, diabetes, dementia, mental
health
• Invest in cholesterol and healthcheck – create a combined
budget for ‘check’ including blood pressure
• Maintain dementia funding – SofS priority
• Exclude Diabetes – Tesco/D-UK pilot results needed
• Exclude mental health until results of 5 ways pilot are in –
Summer 2014
30. Having agreed budgets we will organise our activity by lifestage and integrate with
complementary programmes such as screening
Make it easier … Key activity (in development)
Healthy ageing To get diagnosed earlier when a visible
symptom occurs
• Just tell me – integrated approach to key symptoms
To check regularly for invisible
symptoms
