Yorkshire and Humber Public Health Network

Held over 2 days on Tuesday 23rd and Wednesday 24th June, you can hear from the YoHPAKE members about the work they are undertaking across the Yorkshire and Humber region and beyond. Delivered in bite size 20 minute presentations, members will share a range of topics related to their work in the field of physical activity .

This year we have been incredibly fortunate to have Associate Professor Adam Hawkey, Head of Sport Science and Performance at Solent University, Southampton and Deputy Chair and Fellow of the British Association of Sport and Exercise Sciences (BASES), join us to give the keynote presentation on the growing impact of sport and exercise science on the health and wealth of the nation.
