Public Health England praised for performance in international review

Public Health England has received positive feedback following an independent review carried out by the International Association of National Public Health Institutes (IANPHI).

The membership organisation, which represents more than 100 national public health institutes and agencies, assess the organisation on its leadership, strategy and delivery, as well as the efficiency of its setup and its overall impact and influence.

It was determined that Public Health England is a strong, capable, coordinated, united and efficient public health agency that IANPHI said "rivals any in the world", particularly praising its response to the Ebola crisis and immunisation programmes, in addition to its work on obesity and alcohol harm and smoking cessation schemes.

This has been achieved in a period of less than five years, with Public Health England having been formed in 2013 to unify what was previously a geographically and functionally siloed group of 129 bodies.

Duncan Selbie, chief executive of Public Health England, said: "Inviting an external body to give a frank assessment has provided us with both food for thought and reason to celebrate. As ever, there is more to do, but so much to be proud of too."
