Call For Entries has now closed - shortlisted finalists will be published in early May
I established the Chief Medical Officer’s Public Health Awards to acknowledge the
efforts of all those working to improve the health of the nation. These awards also
celebrate innovative and successful public health initiatives. I was delighted by
the success of the inaugural awards. We had a number of strong entries last year,
and I would encourage anyone working in the field of public health to enter.
