Profile Duncan Selbie:the new face of public health in England

摘要

Duncan Selbie is the Chief Executive of Public Health England, a new organisation tasked with protecting and improving the nation's health and reducing inequalities. His appointment was not entirely expected, and he admits that public health is a new area for him. "I am that well known international expert", he jokes. "You can fit my public health credentials on a postage stamp, but this is what I want to do for the next number of years because it matters so much." Although he does not have a track record in public health, Selbie brings a depth of knowledge about the UK's National Health Service (NHS) to his new role.
