Public Health Workforce Week, 6th - 10th October

Every year, we celebrate the vital work of the public health workforce. Every single contribution helps to make our communities safer and our lives healthier. https://www.rsph.org.uk/

Public health is at a critical juncture. Ill health is steadily rising; more people are living with long-term health conditions, and increasing inequalities are driving worse health outcomes. Preventing ill health and protecting and promoting the health of the public is key to solving these problems and ensuring good health outcomes for all.

That’s where the public health workforce comes in. Let’s celebrate the people who make this possible during Public Health Workforce Week.
