In this episode, Joe tells me what a career in public health is like. Public health is about working at global and population level, and with much more long term outcomes than many doctors may be used to. It's also about dealing with the root causes of disease, rather than the end symptoms. Training is varied, you get to mix with lots of different people, and in different contexts.

Joe Home is a London-based Public Health Registrar with a medical background currently. Prior to starting training he undertook Fellowships in NHS management, health policy and leadership. He completed his medical studies at Peninsula Medical School and completed a masters degree in medical law and ethics at the University of Manchester School of Law and an MBA at Alliance Manchester Business School.

He is currently undertaking a Masters in public health at London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine and holds an honorary research position at The University of Salford School of Health and Society. You can find him on LinkedIn.
