The Association of Directors of Public Health
The Association of Directors of Public Health (ADPH) seeks to improve and protect the health of the population by working to:
- collate and present the views of Directors of Public Health on public health policy to national governments, the media and other organisations;
- influence legislation and policy at a local, regional, national and international level;
- facilitate a support network for Directors of Public Health to share ideas and good practice and support problem-solving;
- identify and fulfil the development needs of Directors of Public Health where practicable and appropriate;
- in collaboration with others, further the development of comprehensive, equitable public health policies through relevant statutory and other bodies.
Every Director of Public Health in the United Kingdom is a member of the Association by right, unless they request otherwise.
Former DsPH and Deputy DsPH can sign up to become Associate Members. Please contact Lucy Manning (Tel: 01223 884800) for further information.
