The data collected from these surveys will help Gravida tailor its Healthy Start Workforce Project courses to be as useful as possible and evaluate their effectiveness, as well as inform national research papers. The Healthy Start Workforce Project is funded by the Ministry of Health and offers two professional development programmes that aim to strengthen awareness of the influence of nutrition and physical activity in pregnancy and the early years on life-long health, particularly on the risk of non-communicable diseases (NCDs).
Growing understanding of the evidence behind a healthy start to life means there is increasing momentum towards including healthy lifestyle advice for pregnancy and families in all healthcare professionals’ roles.
