A window of opportunity for public health

A window of opportunity for public health This briefing explores the risks and opportunities which arise from the dissolution of Public Health England and the creation of the National Institute for Health Protection (NIHP) – a new national body responsible for protecting the nation's health from external threats, incorporating NHS Test and Trace, the Joint Biosecurity Centre and PHE's infectious disease unit. It also explores questions which might be addressed in the coming months, including about the future of PHE's other vital roles surrounding the broader determinants of health, the need to put health inequalities at the heart of any reform to public health, and recovery from Covid-19.
