Prevention starts with the choices we make every day. With chronic health conditions becoming increasingly common, understanding how nutrition and lifestyle can help prevent, manage and even reverse certain conditions has never been more important. With less than a month to go, our Third Scottish Conference is fast approaching! This year's theme, Empowering Better Health With Real Food, brings together leading clinicians, researchers and people with lived experience to share practical, evidence-based insights into improving metabolic health through nutrition and lifestyle.

We're excited to welcome Steve Bennett as the new Chief Executive of Public Health Collaboration, officially joining us on 6th November. Steve has been a long-standing supporter of PHC, serving as both a patron and benefactor. As we celebrate our 10th anniversary, we're looking forward to beginning an exciting new chapter together, building on our mission to help prevent more people from developing chronic diseases through better metabolic health. Steve has exciting new plans for the charity, which we'll be sharing over the coming weeks. The first is our name: Public Health Collaboration will become Preventive Health Collaboration. Our message and focus will centre around a clear commitment: “Most diseases of modern life are preventable; many can be reversed. We build the evidence, teach it widely and campaign for policies that put prevention first.” We'll still be PHC! Our new name reflects our commitment to preventing and reversing chronic disease through better metabolic health, helping more people access the knowledge and practical support they need to make lasting changes. As we begin this new chapter, you'll gradually see our new identity reflected across our website, social media channels and other communications over the coming months. Please join us in welcoming Steve to his new role!
