This key annual public health conference brings together leaders, practitioners and partners to explore how we can achieve better health for all.
This year’s programme will feature a range of sessions on key public health themes, from prevention and early intervention to tackling the wider determinants of health and neighbourhoods. Delegates will hear the latest thinking from national leaders and gain valuable learning from those delivering innovative approaches on the ground.
Over 15 virtual sessions across three days, participants will have the chance to engage with a stellar line-up of speakers, share good practice, and discuss the issues that matter most to their communities. This is a unique opportunity for the public health community to come together, take stock and plan for the future.
This conference is delivered by the Local Government Association (LGA) in partnership with the Association of Directors of Public Health (ADPH). Each day runs from 9.30am-4.15pm
The full programme is now available on the programme tab.
