Tutorial: Nationally Prescribed Public Health Services

Room 302/303, PHE, 2 Rivergate, Bristol BS1 6EH

Thursday 22nd March, 10 – 4pm

 

Aim

To ensure public health registrars understand the practicalities of implementing nationally prescribed public health services, in preparation for future consultant roles.

 

Objectives

  • To introduce registrars to the legal basis of nationally prescribed public health services within the context of wider local authority public health duties
  • To improve registrar understanding of delivering commissioned services and the core offer within the terms of the public health grant
  • To stimulate discussion on the practicalities of implementing a mandated service in the local authority, using the example of Health Checks
  • To seek consensus on the value of a SW Registrar response to the ongoing national consultation

Note: The September 2017 tutorial covered the health protection assurance role of local authority. For this reason, this will not be covered in depth.
