Prof. Wendy Wills, Prevention and Early Detection Theme Lead is leading research with Public Health England regarding the health, wellbeing and care needs of those aged 70+ in the community and the systems that can support those needs. Prof. Wills added that ‘food access and nutrition is an additional focus for research with the ARC EoE populations in focus because we are aware that certain groups, including children eligible for free school meals and populations isolated through current ‘shielding’ requirements are likely to struggle to eat an adequate diet during the COVID-19 pandemic’.
