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.
The Network is managed by the Directorate of Public Health & Social Care East Midlands.
