ASO North East England Network

The North East Obesity Forum (NEOF) aims to promote contact between members of all organisations in the North East of England that have an interest in any aspect of obesity and its health and social consequences. Through such interaction NEOF aims to support research into the causes and prevention of obesity, and to promote action to reduce its burden. NEOF is a network of the Association for the Study of Obesity. It holds two meetings annually, bringing together national and regional perspectives. Attendance at these meeting is open to anyone with an interest in obesity, and may be of particular interest to researchers, clinicians, health services, local authority, public health, commissioners of obesity services, and academics.

The NEOF multidisciplinary committee includes:

• Louis Goff, Newcastle University, louis.goffe@ncl.ac.uk
• Emma Giles, Teesside University, E.Giles@tees.ac.uk
• Laura Cutler, Newcastle University, Laura.Cutler@newcastle.ac.uk
• Scott Lloyd, Middlesbrough Council, Scott_Lloyd@middlesbrough.gov.uk
