About the Programme
The Improving Population Health Fellowship is all about professional and personal development to tackle health inequalities and help make West Yorkshire an equity-informed system.
Do you have a passion for health equity? Do you want to become a ‘champion’ and drive change? Do you want to share best practice and build relationships across the five places (Bradford District and Craven, Calderdale, Kirklees, Leeds and Wakefield)?
The Improving Population Health Fellowship is open to colleagues from all sectors including health, social care, local authority, voluntary and community services across West Yorkshire irrespective of your current job role, grade, or profession.
The Improving Population Health Fellowship is designed to bring together the diverse organisations and professionals that influence health and wellbeing and attract applicants that are representative of the communities we serve. There are no specific educational requirements or preferred professions.

Mentors
The programme is also looking for mentors. Please get in touch if you’re interested.
Mentorship takes around one hour a month, and the expectation is to meet with fellows and discuss their projects, offer guidance and the benefit of your experience in system leadership and/or the subject area (though this isn’t imperative, my own mentor didn’t have a background in my project area). There is also the opportunity to attend a quarterly mentors’ forum for peer support and sharing ideas.
Previous mentors have enjoyed their experience and said it was good for their own personal development and cross-system networking. Mentors are awarded with a certificate and pin badge upon completion of the programme.
For any questions or queries please email Paula Sherriff, [email protected].
