South West Public Health Development School 2017

The venue

The South West Public Health Development School provides a unique opportunity for people working in a variety of fields within public health to expand their public health horizons at this lovely golf resort venue.

A vibrant mix of workshops and learning activities will provide an excellent opportunity to consider how to maximise public health opportunities and truly make a difference.

Delegates can choose to attend one or both days and will have the opportunity to attend a dinner to network with colleagues from across the region.

Who Should Attend?

The Development School is open to anyone working in a public health related field from across the South West. We welcome professionals from a variety of organisations and settings, from local authorities, CCGs, NHS England, Academia, Public Health England, Health Education England, voluntary and community settings.

Conference overview

A draft programme for the school will be available in due course.

There will be a wealth of opportunities for new learning and the discussion of new ideas. As always, the school will help to develop both individual practice and strengthen us as a public health community.

Workshops

Full descriptions of the workshops on offer will be available nearer the event. Delegates will be able to view the workshops prior to the day via this website but selection will be made on the day. There will be no prior sign up to workshops.
