Public Health Information & Evidence (November 2010)
In November, the South West Public Health Observatory hosted 'Public Health Information and Evidence' (4th November, Government Office for South West). This event provided practical advice on where to find information and resources to help you analyse public health in your locality. The event also looked at the policy implications affecting public health, and resources, in the light of the NHS White Paper published in July 2010.
Deputy Director at the South West Public Health Observatory, Paul Brown, delivered an opening presentation exploring public health intelligence and the role of SWPHO. To download a PDF version of Paul's presentation click What is Public Health Intelligence?
