Featuring expert guests from a breadth of sectors, fields and industries, Spread the Health explores how our environment influences health in both obvious and unexpected ways.
We tackle the big questions about the nation's health and, crucially, examine how to overcome the barriers to building a healthier future for all.

Public health doesn't exist in a vacuum. Just like any other sector, it has to navigate an increasingly tumultuous and uncertain political climate to achieve any real change.
Fresh from party conference season, former government special advisor and Future Health founder Richard Sloggett joins William to discuss the realities of public health policy making, the challenges faced by the current government, and what a continuation of recent poll results could mean for the future of public health.
