Public health training

We’re proud of our training achievements: 

• we started the Public Health Foundation Programme, aimed at new graduates with limited work experience who are considering a postgraduate degree or career in public health
• we’re a training location for postgraduate specialist training programmes in association with the Faculty of Public Health, Health Education England and NHS Management scheme 
• we have strong links with academic organisations and contribute to public health more broadly through academic publishing and presentations at events

Students in the Master’s of Public Health at Imperial College in London come to Southwark each year to do summer research projects on topics of local and national importance, for example:

• prescribing trends of dependence-forming medicines
• controlling alcohol availability through local policy
