The guests in this episode are Liz Arnanz Daugan, Policy and Advocacy Manager at NCD Alliance, and Owen Jackson, Director of Policy at Cancer Research UK (CRUK). They chat about the leadership role that civil society, including organisations like CRUK, plays in bringing about policy changes to create healthier environments. Examples in the UK include new legislation to create the first ever smokeless generation and a law banning advertising of unhealthy foods. Collaboration with other organisations and the ability to adapt to a fast-changing environment are keys to success, notes Owen. This is another episode from our Leadership Dialogue series, conversations recorded in early 2025 for our Time to Lead campaign, which will culminate in the 4th UN High-Level Meeting on NCDs and Mental Health, on 25 September 2025.

Voices of the Health Revolution is a podcast series that shines a spotlight on the trailblazers who are leading bold action to protect our universal right to health - even when that means taking a stand against the big industries who threaten it.
