FHFA Fellowship Cohort 1 Celebration Event

On Thursday 30^th January 2025 our Cohort 1 Fairer Health for All Fellows came together to mark a significant milestone of one year since they started on the Fairer Health for All Fellowship Programme. Each Fellow had the opportunity to present to a diverse audience of stakeholders their project aims, key learnings, outputs, and envisioned future steps for their project, designed to reduce health inequalities in their area of work. The event was both exhilarating, informative and characterised by discussions and dynamic exchanges. It offered a platform to engage with key stakeholders from Greater Manchester’s public health, primary care, and VCFSE sectors, and attendees had the opportunity to delve into the Fellows’ innovative projects, ask probing questions, and provide valuable feedback, fostering a collaborative and supportive environment. Moreover, the gathering was an excellent networking opportunity, enabling participants to forge new connections, strengthen existing relationships, and explore potential collaborations.

Congratulations to all our Fellows for their unwavering dedication and hard work. The commitment to developing projects, enhancing learning, and sharing findings is truly commendable. We are all excited to see the positive impact their efforts will continue to have in the future.

More about the Fairer Health for All Fellowship Programme:

Delivered in partnership with the GM Training Hub, the FHfA Fellowship Programme is designed as a comprehensive, in-depth learning opportunity that enables learners from a non-public health background to develop their knowledge and skills in population health, equality and sustainability. Open to people from a wide range of backgrounds and sectors, including clinical, non-clinical, managerial and people working with communities, Fellows are released from their substantive role for one day per week for one year to attend bespoke training and to work on their chosen Fellowship project (visit the FHfA Academy website here to read their full profiles). Fellows are mentored by a senior public health professional, supported by a dedicated project manager and can access quarterly peer support sessions and Communities of Practice throughout the programme.

Cohort 2 is due to start later in 2025 – to find out more please visit our Fellowship pages.
