Public health is about everything society does to prevent people getting ill, rather than treating sickness, and we all have a role and responsibilities. The Government’s White Paper on Public Health puts local government and local communities at the heart of improving health and wellbeing and tackling inequalities – improving the health of the poorest, fastest. A new integrated public health service – Public Health England – will be created to ensure excellence, expertise and responsiveness, particularly on health protection.



Both events will feature key regional public health input both as key note speakers and in the workshops. There will also be an opportunity to hear about the latest developments in the Health and Social Care Bill currently before Parliament.
