The Population Health Hub (PHH) is a multi-organisation group which brings together colleagues from health, public health, and business intelligence to enable, analyse and undertake population health management approaches.
The Hub is split into two groups: the steering group, and the smaller core group. The steering group's function is to ensure the development and delivery of population health management programmes and the JSNA is well managed and embedded in local decision-making by the core group.
