: Transferring a successful, hospital-based, childhood obesity clinic to primary care: a pilot study.The team of specialists at the Care of Childhood Obesity Clinic at the Bristol Royal Hospital for Children have had their groundbreaking work recognised by the medical research charity, the BUPA Foundation, by winning the Clinical Excellence Award.
Set up in 2000, the clinic uses its medical, dietary and exercise expertise, to place the emphasis on not only the children but also their families. The team then encourages all of them to make fundamental changes in their lifestyle and behaviour.
The results have been dramatic with 83 per cent of those attending the clinic managing to reduce their BMI, a measure of body fat based on height and weight.
Can these results be replicated by nurse lead clinics in the community?

A comparison of British school meals and packed lunches from 1990 to 2007: meta-analysis by lunch typeNo formal comparisons of primary school lunches by lunch type have been undertaken to date. The present review identified seven studies from 1990 to 2007 measuring lunchtime nutrient intake in children aged 5-11 years having a school meal and children having a packed lunch and concluded that the introduction of food-based standards for school meals in 2006 has moderately improved the nutrient content of school meals, slightly widening the nutritional gap between school meals and packed lunches.

Adventure Playground: Cycle Maintenance
and Bike Hire
Felix Road Adventure Playground (FRAP) aims to provide a bike hire service for the local community. Local families may have a couple of bikes, but not for children. The availability of bikes for hire could mean the difference between a physically active family activity and a sedentary activity.
A bike mechanic works at Felix Road two days a week, and has been given training by a local cycle repair specialist, who occasionally helps the FRAP. There are currently five bikes in reasonable working order which are used by children to ride around the grounds of the FRAP. This is an area free from motor traffic where children can learn bike skills and use a bike even if they do not have one available at home. If demand for use of the bikes is high, staff set a "10 minutes per person" rule to ensure that children who want to ride bikes are able to do some cycling. There are bike locks and cycle parking stands available on site.

Are we setting the correct metrics for success?“You say NCMP I say School Census / School Travel Health Check” – where do we end up? Missing opportunities to move forward...
• We all want more children walking and cycling more often.
• We all support active interventions to achieve this.
• We all want to be able to measure / show change.
But are we measuring things in a way that will facilitate this?
Coming from the world of transport I spotted early on that our official measure for travel to school was blunt and uninformative: NI198 - Car use. It would tell you which schools had high levels of car use but failed to inform on why and what can be done about it. So we cooked up the School Travel Health Check (STHC)- this contains ‘Metrics for success’ such as car use within walk threshold, calories used by walkers and cyclists and Co2 per head for those coming by vehicle. The STHC as well as identifying where the issues are also identifies realistic solutions.
This brings me to the world of health and the use of NCMP as a measure for active travel interventions...
Does it offer answers to the ‘Why’ and ‘What can be done about it’ questions? On its own I am not sure it does. Equally I am worried that it is leading to commitment to interventions that will struggle to achieve the intended results and could well undermine the real value of active travel to school. The focus of Bike It on the year 6 obesity target is a particular worry. Walking initiatives are better but need to be properly targeted.
When it comes to children’s active travel to school we have a fantastic resource in the form of School Census / STHC – we need to make sure we make best use of it. For your NCMP targets take a look at the STHC and have a think about what additional measures will illuminate the questions ‘Why?’ and ‘What can be done?’

Barnardo's Healthy Schools Play ProjectsIn partnership with the Healthy Schools team in Somerset, Barnardo's has developed this project that promotes children's play at school. Barnardo's work intensively with 3 schools per term. Each school undertakes a play audit and commits to produce a School Play Policy to promote play within the school. Training is offered to staff on risk management and play work practice. The whole school participates in a one day messy play event, and 16 children are selected to take part in targeted group work including a series of 6 outdoor free-play sessions held in a natural environment setting and 4 in-school play sessions to allow children to come up with ideas about how to change the play landscape of their school. The school agrees a Play action plan, the completion of which enables the school to achieve the Healthy School Plus status.

Can a novel treatment using "Mandometer" technology improve weight loss in a childhood obesity clinic?: Obese 9-17 year olds recruited from the Child Obesity Clinic will eat meals off special weighing scales, connected to a 'mandometer', which records the amount and speed of food consumption.
The young patients are shown a 'curve of eating rate' which is compared to what they should be aiming for - about 300-350 grams of food in 10-12 minutes.
They will also be given a Satiety Meter which prompts them to rate their level of fullness and hunger and helps control their food intake between meals.

Health & Well-beingLARK Children's Centre provide wide ranging activites to promote healthier lifestyles. Indirectly all groups offer opportunities to explore new healthy snacks, and utilise a local food cooperative for fruit and veg bags (the project is also subsadised to enable parents to exchange their healthy start vouchers for bags.
In partnership with PCT and Whitleigh Children's Centre we facilitated the mini-mend pilot programme earlier in the year. Skills gleamed from this programme enabled staff at LARK to develop a new 'jumpin jacks' programme to promote physical play opportunities for parents and their children. Running along side this project we also run healthy eating initiatives. It is envisaged that running the two along side each other will support parents in making informative decisions regards healthier lifestyles.

NHS Cancer Plan{HEALTH}
NHS Cancer PlanThe NHS Plan (July 2000) presents the government's strategy for investment and reform across the NHS, and gives cancer services high priority. This document provides a detailed account of the government's comprehensive national programme for investment in and reform of cancer services in England, which aims to reduce death rates and improve prospects of survival and quality of life for cancer sufferers by improving prevention, promoting early detection and effective screening practice, and guaranteeing high quality treatment and care throughout the country. The Cancer Plan is particularly committed to addressing health inequalities through setting new national and local targets for the reduction of smoking rates, the setting of new targets for the reduction of waiting times, the establishment of national standards for cancer services, and investment in specialist palliative care, the expansion and development of the cancer workforce, cancer facilities, and cancer research.
{HEALTH CANCER}{CANCER}
NHS Cancer Plan Making ProgressThe National Cancer Plan was published in September 2000. It set out a long-term strategy for improving cancer management in the UK. The strategy embraced the whole spectrum of care from prevention, treatment and palliative care to information support, equipment and research. This report summarises progress made one year on from publication. It lists new initiatives aimed at supporting healthier life styles (such as the National School Fruit Scheme). It describes how cancer screening is being extended and improved and how new, evidence-based guidance to clinicians will promote better, more equitable treatment. Progress is reported on treatment waiting times and on staff recruitment and training. New information and support services are underway whilst other measures will improve access to high quality palliative care. Screening equipment is being up-dated in line with the Plan's targets and two new bodies have been established to co-ordinate UK-based cancer research.

Showcase your physical activity project at the BHFNC National ConferenceFor the past two years the BHFNC has been collecting information on a wide range of physical activity interventions taking place across the UK. This information is published annually within our Sharing Practice Booklets. These booklets aim to encourage sharing of practice and solutions among physical activity and health professionals and increase awareness of the range of interventions taking place across the UK. This year we are looking to collect information about projects delivered by or in partnership with primary care professionals. We are particularly interested in the recommendations you would make for professionals embarking on similar projects. Every relevant project submitted will be included in the 'Sharing Practice: Raising the profile of physical activity in primary care' booklet, which will be distributed to over 300 delegates at the BHFNC 10th Annual Conference and will be available to download from the BHFNC website from November 2010. Furthermore, a selected number of submissions will also be offered the excellent opportunity to showcase their work in the case study zone at the BHFNC 10th Annual Conference on Tuesday 23rd November 2010.
Every project submission will be entered into a prize draw, with two fantastic prizes available:
• 1st prize - 1 free place at the BHFNC 10th Annual Conference

UK Community Psychology ConferencePsychological theory and practice can help to understand and counter processes of denial, expose and critique powerful vested interests
understand processes of participation, persuasion and decision-making, encourage and enable people to work together toward sustainable futures.
If we are to survive and thrive, people and societies need to make change happen: as psychologists, we must play our part. We hope to explore and debate these issues in a participatory, challenging, and inclusive event: bringing together community psychologists and other psychologists with community activists, along with people from business as well as local and national government, to explore how we can use and change psychology together for sustainability, well-being and justice. The conference is supported by Devon Primary Care Trust Child and Adolescent Services, giving us a special emphasis on the role and impact of sustainability for young people and children. We hope to come away inspired for further action, research, projects and networking, with new ideas about how community psychology could contribute and be influenced by national and inter-national debates and initiatives around climate change and our futures.

Using the Department of Health's Healthy Weight Cluster MapsIn December 2008, the Department of Health published their Healthy Weight Cluster Maps. Comprehensive market research was conducted in order to gain insight into the physical activity and healthy eating attitudes and behaviours of families with children under 11 years old. Six cluster family types were identified including their relative likelihood of being overweight and/or obese. Maps were also produced for England showing which family cluster type was most prevalent in each area.
PCT's and their Local Authority partners are now starting to look at how the maps and consumer insight information can be used to develop social marketing campaigns in order to promote healthy weight in families. The Obesity Coordinators at the Department of Health South West are keen to hear back from anyone who has used the maps to inform healthy weight campaigns and programmes in order to share good practice. Thanks.

Walk to WorkThe Walk to Work project has created an additional 3.5km of new routes centred around the Camel Trail and the strategic town of Bodmin. Route one of the project has created 1.5km of new off road ‘greenway’ which starts at the east side of the town. The route links east and west Bodmin using the railway corridor as a level link through open countryside. It provides a direct link between residential neighbourhoods, the industrial estates, schools and leisure centre, all of which are accessible for all abilities in a safe and multi use corridor. The route also connects with the National Cycle Network and Cornish Way providing a link to cycle routes across Cornwall. Routes two and three are geared towards positioning Bodmin as a start and finish point on the Camel Trail and linking rural communities and visitors with cottage industries.

Wiltshire Healthy Early Years Settings AwardHealthy status accreditation for early years settings. A recognition of the valuable part they play in supporting the health and well-being of the children in their care. The award has been a collaborative project between Wiltshire County Council's Early Years and Childcare Team, the Personal Development Education Team and the early years settings taking part in the pilot project during 2007. This initiative is based on the content and proven success of the National Healthy Schools Award. Feedback from the initial pilot was used to re-shape the criteria for early years settings. The Award is rolling out across Wiltshire and the evaluation outcomes will be based on 5 strands: Personal Social and Education Development; Emotional Health and Well-being; Physical Activity; Healthy Eating and Leadership, Management and Staff.
