Dr Meng Khaw, Public Health Wales Director of Health Protection and Screening Services said:
“The past few years have shown public health teams in Wales at their best under the closest scrutiny. Some amazing work has been done by all teams. And after all that hard work it would be brilliant to see that effort recognised in these awards.
“I’d encourage all staff to think about entering these awards to really celebrate what has been achieved.
“Collaborative working has been high on the agenda because of the pandemic, but good partnership working is about more than a singular response, it’s vital to all areas of public health, wellbeing and removing inequalities. So, we’re also very pleased to be sponsoring the collaborative working award.”
The awards ceremony will be held during the virtual Public Health Practitioner Conference on 5 October 2022.
The collaborative working award is being sponsored by Public Health Wales.
