چکیده

500 British Journal of General Practice, September 2013 Public health is a specialty in which few of us have practical experience. It’s generally poorly covered at medical school but believe me, there’s more to this stuff than statistics and John Snow’s pump handle. Until 2013, the typical GP placement would involve working in the primary care trust (PCT), primarily in the Department of Public Health, and working within the local Health Protection Unit (HPU) covering disease outbreak response work and their on-call service. Under the reforms of the Health and Social Care Act of 2012 both agencies will no longer exist. From April 2013 public health placements are with Public Health England (PHE), encompassing the work formerly conducted with the Health Protection Agency and some of the work of the former PCT. This could be in the national PHE office or with the regional PHE units. Your involvement with the assessment and planning of population health will be within the Local Government Association (LGA), that is local authority. Here you will have a chance to work with the commissioning support service (CSS) and the health and wellbeing board (HWB) on health needs assessments and strategic planning of local health care. A summary of the new public health system and its organisations is available on the PHE (https://www.gov. uk/government/organisations/publichealth-england) and local.gov (www.local. gov.uk/health) websites.
