Abstract
This paper outlines the public health issues relating to the north-west region of England. The role of Primary Care Trusts in addressing the health and well-being issues is described and the development of Teaching Public Health Networks to support capacity and capability building in the public health workforce is outlined. Healthy weight management is used as a case study of how public health and primary care can be brought closer together by describing the role of the Food and Health Action Plan in addressing healthy weight management and its relationship with primary care.
