Health Protection Network (HPN), United Kingdom

HEN technical member since 2006

HPN is a multidisciplinary network of professional networks working in health protection across Scotland. Its primary aim is to improve the ability of health protection services in Scotland to protect the public from being exposed to hazards that damage their health and to limit any impact on health when such exposures cannot be avoided.

HPN supports the development of good practice in the prevention and control of both infections and environmental hazards in Scotland, by collating and disseminating evidence of best practice, setting standards related to the evidence and supporting peer audit to these standards, and supporting continuous professional development in health protection.
