Events & Continuous Professional Development

Continuous professional development helps develop and keep our public health skills and knowledge up to date. The six North of Scotland Health Boards are working together so that all public health staff in the North of Scotland can access CPD opportunities provided by the Boards. On this page you will find all the latest Public Health CPD sessions that are available. Please note these are only available to public health staff working in the six boards. To access a session contact the CPD administrator for the Health Board hosting the session.
