East of England Public Health Workforce Development Strategy

Recent changes to the public health system landscape mean that the core public health workforce is now spread across a number of organisations. Our regional public health workforce development strategy was approved by the East of England Public Health Network in April 2023 and contains fifteen workstreams which demonstrate the commitment from system partners to work collaboratively to create a supportive working and learning environment which promotes continuous development, leadership, resilience, growth and system mobility. Its focus is to ensure that the system has adequate capacity of competent and capable public health workforce that can help improve the population’s health outcomes and reduce inequalities within the region.

If you are interested in supporting and influencing development of any of the workstreams contained in the strategy, and have the support of your line manager to do so, please email eoehealthandwellbeing@dhsc.gov.uk indicating which workstream(s) you are interested in.
