Mhairi Brown, RNutr (Public Health), MScPolicy ManagerEmail: mhairi.brown@qmul.ac.ukProfileResearchPublicationsProfileI am Policy Manager for Consensus Action on Salt, Sugar and Health (CASSH), a charity based at the Wolfson Institute of Population Health at QMUL concerned with the impact of excess salt, sugar and calories on health. I lead policy development and engagement, and public affairs work within CASSH, working across the team to increase our profile and reach. Alongside this, I lead our international work, developing and implementing salt and sugar reduction strategies in Malaysia and the Eastern Mediterranean region. I also work on research related to salt and sugar in collaboration with colleagues at CASSH and international colleagues. I am currently undertaking a PhD under the supervision of Prof Feng He and Prof Graham MacGregor, evaluating the UK’s salt and sugar reduction policies using qualitative methodology. I completed a BSc in Chemistry with Environmental and Sustainable Chemistry at the University of Edinburgh, and a Masters in International Public Health Nutrition at the University of Westminster. I am a Trustee of the Association for Nutrition and a Registered Nutritionist (RNutr) in public health nutrition. I am also a visiting lecturer on food policy and public health nutrition at various universities in the UK and I am regularly invited as a speaker at conferences and roundtables to discuss nutrition policy.ResearchResearch Interests: Public Health Nutrition Food Policy Salt Reduction Sugar Reduction Calorie Reduction Front of Pack Labelling Advertising Restrictions of Unhealthy Products Price and Location Promotion Restrictions of Unhealthy Products Early Years Nutrition PublicationsPlease click through to see a complete list of Mhairi's publications.
