Along with a core team of staff, together our 10 Directors of Public Health drive forward our shared objectives across Greater Manchester and gain assurance around our core public health business deliverables.

We are a subscription-based group, we uphold rigorous financial stewardship, directing an evidence based, needs led, and outcome focussed approach to everything we do. We are committed to continual learning and evaluation and embrace the opportunity to work with academic partners.
