PHSIIG Introduction
The Public Heath SIIG is a network to enable sharing experience, knowledge and approaches for taking forward Service Improvement Public Health work in Scotland and to raise the profile of Service Improvement practice as a domain of specialist
Public Health practice. It was set up in 2012 following a workshop about New Ways of working in Public Health specialist practice.
Membership is open to all those working within Public Health Directorates, public heath staff working in service settings and academic groups and national agencies whose remit includes Service Improvement. The PHSIIG is chaired by one of the members of the Group – Gordon McLaren stepped down as co-chair in September 2018 and currently Brian O Suilleabhain, NHS Ayrshire and Arran and Hester Ward, ISD, alternate this role and organise the meetings with support from NHS Health Scotland for venues. There are currently around 50 members on the circulation list.
