About GMPHLG

Greater Manchester Public Health Network is the collective voice for public health in Greater Manchester. We work collaboratively to advocate for our residents and the communities in which they live, ensuring that their health is protected, there are opportunities for improvement, and that the services provided across the system are high quality, equitable and inclusive. We work to reduce the impact of health inequalities, influence the building blocks of health and to mitigate where they cause harm.

We are the 10 Directors of Public Health, utilising our independent professional autonomy collaboratively with our partners from GM NHS ICB, UKHSA, DHSC, GMCA, the VCFSE and other public health professionals from across the system. With a small core team of staff, together we drive forward our shared objectives and gain assurance around our core public health business deliverables.

We are a subscription-based group, we uphold rigorous financial stewardship, directing an evidence based, needs led, and outcome focused approach to everything we do. We are committed to continual learning and evaluation and embrace the opportunity to work with academic partners.
