In collaboration with University College Cork, the project will run from Spring 2022-2024, the project will explore the impact of commercial determinants of health in the post-Brexit landscape, drawing on case studies to consider strategies employed by corporate actors to promote products and choices impacting public health, as well as how law impacts on such strategies. Also working on the project is Ms Ruby Reed-Berendt, Research Associate, with key stakeholder partners in the in the UK faculty of public health and Institute of Public Health in Ireland.
