This session we were joined by David Rainbow from DCC QAIT and Sarah Ogilvie from HAS to answer any questions on outbreaks and current guidance. Dan Lloyd joined us too from DHSC, so it was a good chance to escalate any concerns.

We were also delighted to welcome Professor Charlie Foster from the University of Bristol. Charlie is the Chair of the expert panel for the Chief Medical Officer Physical Activity Guidelines. He brings a wealth of knowledge and enthusiasm about healthy ageing and growing old with strength and activity.
