North East Public Health Observatory
The North East Public Health Observatory (NEPHO) is one of nine regional Public Health Observatories in England. NEPHO is the regional health intelligence organisation providing information and analysis to support those working to improve health and reduce health inequalities in the North East. We are a member of the Association of Public Health Observatories (APHO) which coordinates joint work across PHOs in the UK and Ireland. More information about NEPHO.
The key overarching roles of PHOs are:
- promoting and delivering health intelligence to decision-makers to improve health and reduce health inequalities
- acting as advocates for population health information, ensuring that high-quality, relevant information is available to a range of stakeholders
- being a single port of call for those who need such information
- developing a skilled health intelligence workforce.
