About
The University of Exeter joined the NIHR School for Public Health (SPHR) in April 2022. Our fourth annual conference brings together colleagues in local authorities, service providers, third sector and community organisations with public health research academics to learn from each other, explore areas of joint interest and to facilitate new connections.
The event is divided into two parts and we would be delighted if you could join us for either, or both. The morning CPD workshop is primarily aimed at public health practitioners and other colleagues with an interest in public health research. University of Exeter academic colleagues will join for lunch and the afternoon conference.
This year's event will be held on our Streatham Campus at the Peter Chalk Centre. Information about the location, travel and transport, and building accessibility can be found below.
