The IHC Plymouth Public Health Forum was set-up to facilitate closer links between those of us, from across Plymouth, who are engaged in public health. It is a resource for anyone in Plymouth (and beyond) to use to support the development and evaluation of public health in Plymouth. The webpage will showcase all the public health research in Plymouth; a central point for people to promote work that is happening in different groups and organisations. We will organise two public health events each year: in February and September. The aim of these events is to promote developments in Public Health (with a key note speaker), to facilitate networking and a focus on Plymouth to help us drive public health research forward. The forum’s Twitter account is a means of enabling easier communication between Forum meetings as we are such a disparate group. Please use the #IHCPPHF when you are tweeting about public health. The groups conveners are Dr Katrina Bannigan and Dr Clare Pettinger from the School of Health Professions. Plymouth City Council’s Public Health Team information can be found by visiting their website and by viewing the 2017 Plymouth Report.
