Welcome back to our #BuildingBackBetter in #PrimaryCare and #Public Health as we continue with our 7th webinar of the series. This time we'll be hearing from current Population Health Fellows with Health Education England's national programme, as well as a current supervisor:

Solomon Lebese, HEE Population Health Fellow 2021-22 and GP registrar

Health Education England has ran a Population Health Fellowship programme since since 2020. Currently supporting 26 clinical staff across multiple disciplines and specialties, fellows are released for 2 days from their day job to work on a population health project at a host organisation, and receive an educational programme to build their knowledge and skills.

As well as an overview to the programme, we will hear from current fellows and supervisors:

examples of Population Health Fellowship projects
the impacts of these projects on population health outcomes
reflections on the professional development opportunities the programmes have created
what lessons we can learn from the programme to apply to how we build the capability of the broader health and care workforce to promote population health
