Exciting new 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 our new 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 is now available.

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.
