Mission statement NPHS
“to make a unique expert contribution to the protection and improvement of the health and wellbeing of the people of Wales, through the delivery of high quality, accessible and appropriate specialist public health services”
Protection – ensure that urgent public health information is cascaded to all primary care clinicians including locums – discuss E. Coli outbreak
Improvement – enable sessional GPs to access local information on public health initiatives and processes
Delivery/accessibility – issue with sessional GPs accessing intranet sites so much of this information is difficult to find.
Scenenarios – new to locality/new to General Practice/ new to surgery – service quality issues,
Support integration of public health in primary care
Communication and integration/partnership working
