Our Board and Council
Our representative structure across the four nations provides a democratic and inclusive governance and improves engagement and ownership by DsPH at local level.
Board members
The Board, all serving DsPH, represent the views of our members at a national and local level. Elected by our members, each Board member serves a three-year term and is a Trustee and Company Director.

Council members
ADPH policy is guided by an elected Council, made up of representatives from our nine regions, the devolved administrations and our associate members. A Faculty of Public Health observer also sits on the Council.
As well as leading our Policy Advisory Groups, which inform ADPH policy and shape our consultation responses, Council members work to ensure good two-way communication between their network and ADPH.
