About GMPHLG
The Greater Manchester Public Health Leadership Group brings together public health leaders across our city-region to tackle health inequalities in all that we do.
The Greater Manchester Public Health Leadership Group is adapted from our historic Greater Manchester Association of Directors of Public Health Group. The group changed its name in 2023 to reflect the membership being not only DPH’s, but also partner members from NHS Greater Manchester, UK Health Security Agency, The Office for Health Improvement and Disparities and NHS England.
