Strengths and Issues • PH remains a highly competitive specialty with a rigorous recruitment process • High degree of satisfaction with the programme • Changing nature of the role of CPH – does the training we provide fit with this? • Role of LA in training (SWOT, esp after 2015) • Role of PHE on a NW footprint • Public health input into the NHS, esp CCGs and PH role of GPs (some learning outcomes are still geared towards NHS structures)
