This week in Manchester digital developers and health experts got together to devise tools with a vital aim; to help children eat better and move more. Read our blog: The HealthX Hackathon – can health and tech join forces to beat obesity?

Oral health survey
We published an oral health survey this week, which shows that the number of 5 year olds with tooth decay has dropped to its lowest level in almost a decade. You can get more information on caring for children's teeth from NHS Choices.
