All RCN North Staffordshire members are invited to this online learning event. Presented by Professor Rod Thomson, Interim Director of Public Health at Cheshire East Council, the session will focus on highlighting the patterns of health needs in the area.
Understanding the health needs of the population that we serve is a key responsibility of health care professionals. With the Government’s plans to move more care into the community, and for a greater focus on primary and secondary prevention of ill health, this session is intended to help attendees understand and highlight the patterns of health needs in the County.
Professor Thomson’s early career was as a psychiatric and general nurse before moving into public health. He worked in a range of senior roles in Cheshire and Merseyside before becoming Director of Public Health for Shropshire in 2010. Though he retired in 2019, he volunteered to return as a public health consultant role with Cheshire East Council during the COVID Pandemic before becoming Interim Director of Public Health at the organisation.
A long-standing member of the RCN, he has served as Chair of RCN Congress, RCN Deputy President and the West Midlands member on RCN Council.
