Public Health communications is a fundamental part of public health work, relevant to every aspect of health and well-being, including disease prevention, health promotion and quality of life. Public Health communications ultimately aims to encourage behaviours that lead to longer and healthier lives for the North Yorkshire population.
The North Yorkshire Public Health Communications Group coordinates the delivery of a comprehensive programme of public health communications, which aims to improve the health and wellbeing of the North Yorkshire Population by:
- increasing audience knowledge and awareness
- influencing behaviours and attitudes
- demonstrating healthy practices
- promoting the benefits of healthy behaviour change
- increasing awareness of and encouraging uptake of public health services
- raising the profile of public health with our partners and general public
The group consists of a small working group that meet on a monthly basis. Remaining on track with the aid of an action log, the group’s main priority is to develop, approve and oversee the delivery of a comprehensive calendar of public health communication campaigns and activity based around North Yorkshire health and wellbeing priority outcomes. For anyone interested in joining this Communications group, please contact nypublichealth@northyorks.gov.uk

As part of the DPH 175 celebrations - the Public Health team in North Yorkshire hosted webinars for partners and colleagues to provide an overview of Public Health work across North Yorkshire in response to key public health challenges within local, national and global health.
This was an opportunity to learn from some of our experienced and dedicated public health professionals, share examples of good practice as well as celebrate the work of Public Health and the role of the DPH.
A number of the webinars were recorded and are now available to watch using the links below:
