Journalist and health campaigner Anne Diamond has become the patron of the National Obesity Forum, the charity which was established by clinicians in 2000 to raise awareness of the growing health impact that being overweight or obese was having on patients and the National Health Service (NHS).
Ms Diamond’s role will be to increase awareness of the growing prevalence of obesity and its dangers, and to call for urgent action from health care professionals so that sufferers can be helped. She is writing a book about the global obesity epidemic.
During her career, Anne Diamond has helped launch awareness drives concerning cervical cancer screening, autism, dyslexia and vaccination programmes. She was awarded the Medal of the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health for spearheading the 1991 “Back to Sleep” campaign to prevent cot death.
