Population Health Fellowship

Population Health is an approach aimed at improving the health of an entire population. It is about improving the physical and mental health outcomes and wellbeing of people, while reducing health inequalities within and across a defined population. It includes action to reduce the occurrence of ill-health, including addressing wider determinants of health, and requires working with communities and partner agencies.

Our national Population Health Fellowship (PHF) for health and care workers, as well as others in public sector roles relevant to population health, continues to develop a workforce of professionals who integrate population health into their daily responsibilities. The aspiration of the NHS Long Term Workforce Plan is to have a fellow working in every Integrated Care System (ICS) to support the development of local expertise in population health and to help systems establish more population health roles.

The programme has delivered four cohorts and will now be offered as a Postgraduate Certificate by the University of Salford.
