Heather is the Coordinator for the PETRA: prevention of non-communicable diseases using trade agreements Network.
The PETRA Network is hosted by the Centre for Ageing and Mental Health at the University of Chester. It was established as a UK Prevention Research Partnership network in September 2019 to run for an initial three-year period. This interdisciplinary network aims to bring together the trade and health communities to consider how trade and trade and investment agreements can help tackle the major social, health and economic challenges that are the determinants of non-communicable diseases. Further details and PETRA’s publications are available at: https://petranetwork.org
