Yorkshire and Humber Teaching Public Health Network

The Yorkshire and Humber Teaching Public Health Network

The Yorkshire and Humber Teaching Public Health Network (YHTPHN) is one of 9 regional Networks established in 2006 by the Department of Health and is being hosted by Yorkshire Universities.

The network is a partnership bringing together organisations from a range of statutory and voluntary sectors to provide a strategic approach to public health teaching capacity and capability throughout the region.

The project aims to establish an integrated and inclusive approach to the development of public health education.  It will work across organisations and sectors, at all skill and professional levels, to address public health inequalities and improve health in a sustainable way.

Key Objectives of the Teaching Public Health Network:

  • Embed public health teaching in commissioning strategy

  • Boost teaching capacity within the region in order to develop a stronger public health workforce

  • Encourage and support organisations and their staff to understand their contribution to improving health and ensure they are enabled to play their part
