This CPD initiative aims to equip health professionals with the necessary tools and approaches to lead effectively, collaborate across sectors, and drive positive outcomes for population health objectives.This is a short CPD programme, that will offer you the knowledge and skills necessary to lead and work collaboratively with multi-professional, muti-agency teams to design, deliver and implement public health interventions at the community/population level. You will receive a certificate that can be used to evidence your continuing professional development for your own professional bodies.
