National Population Health Fellowship

The application process for the National Population Health Fellowship is now open.  This is the first fellowship of this kind for health and care professionals from a non-population health background. The fellowship was launched in 2020 and is now recruiting its fourth cohort.

It is a 1-year part-time programme where fellows will work on a population health project and they will be supported by a blended learning programme. The aim is to develop a growing network of professionals with population health skills to benefit place-based healthcare systems across England. The fellowship is available across all HEE regions and the start date for the fourth cohort will be Tuesday 5 September 2023.

You can find out more about the National Population Health Fellowship on the HEE web page and through this promotional video.  There is also a summative poster.
