He is involved with Evaluating the Role of Health & Wellbeing Board and serves as a special advisor to the WHO Regional Office for Europe. In this podcast, Prof. Hunter discusses the intensification of health problems post-Brexit, the possibility of food production causing public health issues, and the inclusion of the health sector in future trade deals.
