From government policies to the air we breathe, the high streets we shop on, the food on our plates, and the places we live and work - our health is shaped by the world around us.
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.

It's 2025, so why are we seeing child poverty – something often associated with the Victorian era – having such an effect on children and families?
To get to the bottom of the issue and its very real, direct solutions, William speaks to Sara Ogilvie, Director of Policy, Rights and Advocacy at the Child Poverty Action Group (CPAG).
Plus, the team tells us about the latest from RSPH including our new high streets report and our major new public health education pathways offering.
