The NIPHMC (Northern Ireland public health medicine committee) reports to the UK PHMC on matters concerning Northern Ireland. It keeps the central committee informed on issues and changes to practice in Northern Ireland.
Our priorities
- Promote the committee and engage with public health doctors in Northern Ireland.
- Maintain and improve terms and conditions for public health doctors in Northern Ireland.
- Ensure public health issues remain on the public agenda, especially in the absence of progress and focus from the Northern Ireland Assembly.
