Health misinformation (false information) and disinformation (where false information is deliberately spread to deceive) pose a major challenge to public health through preventing people from making informed health decisions and amplifying health threats.

Emerging evidence about measures to combat health mis/disinformation has not yet been translated into action at a regional or local level. The regional public health system including the Y&H Association of Directors of Public Health (ADPH) are keen to explore the consequences of mis/disinformation and its interaction with health literacy, and tackle these issues to improve health and reduce inequalities.

The fellow will be embedded in the Y&H Office for Health Improvement and Disparities (OHID). The fellow will collaborate with partners (e.g. local, regional and national government, VCSEs, academia, ICSs), and may engage the public to understand the priorities and needs of different communities.

The fellow will be supported to scope and lead their own project. Potential outputs include resources that develop our understanding of the role of mis/disinformation in shaping public health outcomes and inequalities in health, support evidence-based action at a local level, and build capacity across the public health system.

Commercial determinants of health (CDoH) describe how industry affects health, including harm from tobacco, alcohol, unhealthy food, gambling and fossil fuels. These result in substantial societal and healthcare costs, and disproportionately impact deprived communities. A prevention approach to these harms can ease pressure on NHS services by reducing NCD burden, aligning with priorities of the 10 Year Health Plan for England.

National consideration of CDoH is growing, with regional and local work underway. The fellow will be embedded in the Y&H Office for Health Improvement and Disparities team. The Fellow will collaborate with key stakeholders across the system: the NHS, ICSs, local, regional and national government, ADsPH, academia, and VCSEs including Action on Smoking and Health. The Fellow may also work with communities to engage the public on relevant issues.

This post will build upon previous work by scaling up work strategically between places, regions and nationally to approach risk factors for ill health in combination. The broad and evolving nature of CDoH work means the Fellow will have autonomy (but be supported) to shape and develop their project. Outputs may include evidence-based resources, research contributions, and progressing cross-organisational activities.

Integrated Neighbourhood Teams (INTs) are fundamental to delivering the three key shifts at the core of the government’s Ten-Year Plan: hospital to community, treatment to prevention and analogue to digital.

These paired posts will support the development of INTs by teaming up GP and secondary care registrars to work collaboratively on a pivotal project determined locally within each system (see Job Description for details), bringing their unique insights to the team as frontline learners and clinicians.  Fellows would be embedded within pilot neighbourhoods in their region, with senior ICB and Deanery support, and will have the freedom and flexibility to be innovative while benefiting from national developmental resources.

Fellows will also join the multi-professional Enhance programme which will support their knowledge and understanding of system working and thinking. Enhance is a key vehicle for discussing the principles underpinning the Ten-Year Plan. Fellows will be encouraged to undertake a reflective Postgraduate Certificate based on their Fellowship project and Enhance learning.

Fellows will have the opportunity to present their work to the Deanery, anchor institutions and professional networks to offer insights that impact GP and specialty training and practice.

Differential attainment (DA) refers to disparities in achievement between different demographic groups of postgraduate doctors and dentists in training. It can occur at recruitment, examinations and ARCPs. When differential outcomes are connected to protected characteristics, such as age, gender or ethnicity, it suggests inequalities may exist within training. 

The DA Fellow will have the opportunity to contribute to the development of an inclusive training culture, by developing and evaluating interventions that aim to reduce DA amongst postgraduate doctors and dentists in training from ethnic minority backgrounds. They will build upon the work of past Fellows by reviewing annual attainment data to identify improvements and effective past actions, continuing the coordination and delivery of the deanery's Reverse Mentoring Scheme and aligning local activity to the aims and objectives of NHS England's Workforce Training and Education Directorate, as well as external organisations like the GMC. 

This post provides an excellent opportunity to engage and build relationships with senior stakeholders across the region, collate and promote best practice, and lead the development of initiatives that seek to improve the training culture to foster achievement of the NHS People Promise.
