Summary
Job Summary - This role will support an ongoing collaboration between The European Centre for Environment and Human Health (ECEHH) and Public Health Dorset (PHD) who are working together to build understanding of the evidence base for how access to green and blue space can support population health and wellbeing and reduce health inequalities.
