The new government has stated its ambition to create a prevention-first health and social care system and a fairer Britain where everyone lives well for longer. With this in mind, it is an ideal time for the nursing team to update its knowledge on public health and discover how it can play a role in preventing illness, protecting health, promoting well-being and reducing health inequalities.

This webinar, delivered in collaboration with the Office for Health Improvement and Disparities, will give you strategies to maximise your impact whether you work in hospitals, social care or the community, the NHS or independent sector – and whatever your specialty.

Find out how you can underpin your practice with the free All Our Health bite-sized e-learning modules on more than 30 public health topics, including obesity, climate change and mental health.
