PHORCaST is a UK-wide resource aimed at those working within public health, those wishing to enter public health and those responsible for public health education, development, training, planning and providing careers advice to the public health workforce.  It aims to promote public health careers for the entire public health workforce in the UK, and in particular, to aid recruitment and retention.

 

A particularly valuable aspect of the PHORCaST site is the wide range of ‘real life’ public health career stories it provides.  By providing as wide a range of stories the aim is to attract people into public health and to show them the variety of ways other people have entered the field, what they do, and why they enjoy it.

 

You can access  some of the stories and find out how to contribute via the links below.
