Why do we need a network?
The need for the network was officially established in October 2000 after exploring the requirement at a seminar involving people working in public health from many different organisations. People wanted the opportunity to be able to share practice, be kept up to date with current issues and, indeed, have the chance to talk to each other.
Now, as the changes to the structure of the NHS are implemented and with health high on the agenda for many organisations, there is even more need to keep people informed and have the opportunity to come together to explore how we can work in partnership.
How does the network operate?
The network currently has around 1000 named members on its database and is increasing all the time. Having your name on the Network database ensures that you receive, by direct mailing, information about forthcoming events and information of importance around the health and well-being of the public in the East Midlands. You will also receive our new e-bulletin via your e-mail account which will ensure you have the most up-to-date information at your fingertips.
The Network is managed in partnership by the Department of Health, East Midlands Public Health Observatory, Community Practitioners and Health Visitors Association (CPHVA), Faculty of Public Health Medicine, the East Midlands Region Local Government Association (EMRLGA) and the United Kingdom Public Health Association (UKPHA).
