Applications are now open for Cohort 9 of the Aspiring Public Health Leaders Programme (formerly the Aspiring Directors of Public Health Programme).
The programme, provided by the University of Birmingham, supports the development of senior leaders capable of system-wide, collaborative leadership to improve population health outcomes. It combines in-person and online immersive workshops, coaching, and reflective practice to prepare participants for senior public health roles.
Eligibility
This programme is aimed at individuals who:
Have at least 2 years’ experience in public health leadership roles; and
Aspire to move into a senior leadership role (e.g. Local Authority Director of Public Health, ICB Director of Population Health, Deputy Director roles in UKHSA or OHID) within the next three years; or
Are currently occupying a similar role on an interim basis.
Applicants must secure a sponsor (line manager or organisational sponsor), who will complete the sponsor form included in the application pack. As this is a key part of the selection process, applicants should allow sufficient time to coordinate with their sponsor ahead of the deadline.
The programme providers will host a 1-hour live Q&A session on 2 July at 2pm to support prospective applicants and answer any questions about the programme or application process.
