The Public Health Network includes all who work in the field of public health and health improvement, in Grampian.
Whole system network events are held twice yearly at various locations. Their purpose is to:
- bring staff together as a whole system, meeting with the DPH
- update staff on national and local contexts
- hold interactive discussion around current, local work and whole system issues.
In addition, a series of informal sessions take place at a range of venues, normally at lunchtimes throughout the year.
The gphis Planning Group meets to plan these opportunities for shared learning and networking. The group membership is drawn from across the public health system and takes an active role in supporting the event programme.
Events are announced through the Public Health and Planning email list and via News and Events listings on HI-Net.
