He has spent some 40 years working in food, nutrition and health. With 20 years working in the food industry, he now feels like the poacher turned gamekeeper as he challenges the food industry’s ambivalence to the consequences of their profit driven focus regardless of the health outcomes for customers.
For the last 20 years he has worked in health, managing clinical and health improvement services in the NHS and delivering evidence-based Public Health programmes and information for the Health Development Agency and the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE). He is a visiting lecturer at Stafford University Faculty of Health Sciences. Currently he leads on delivering adult weight management services for residents in Telford and Wrekin, Shropshire for the NHS, where over 60% of the adult population are overweight or obese.
Robert submitted evidence on obesity to the House of Lords Science and Technology Select Committee for their Behaviour Change Report (July 2011) and also to the NICE Public Health Programme Guidance, Obesity: working with local communities (Nov. 2012). In addition, evaluation evidence for the weight management programmes he currently leads have been published in the Health Services Journal (Sept. 2012).view less
