South East

The South East Schools of Public Health (Kent Surrey Sussex; Thames Valley; Wessex) works to build the capability and capacity of the future and existing public health and wider health and care workforces. It does this by delivering innovative approaches to training and education enabling the workforce in  preventing ill health and addressing health inequalities.

We do this by:

• Working collaboratively with the Office of Health Improvement and Disparities (OHID) to design and develop its programme of work.
• Engaging with public health teams including local authority public health teams, SE Association of Directors of Public Health, UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA), OHID, NHSE in developing and delivering the programmes.
• Ensure that health inequalities are at the centre of learning of our targeted workforce development programmes.
• Develop evidence-based training and education programmes to build confidence, competence, and capability to deliver the public health function.
• Support the SE Integrated Care System (ICS) Boards and stakeholders in workforce development to address prevention and health inequalities.
