Update from the PHINE Network meeting
PHINE meeting January 28th 2010: updates
The PHINE network came together at the new Public Health North East building, Newburn Riverside, Newcastle on January 28th. Once again the meeting adopted the 'network cafe' format in which attendees were offered a choice of sessions to learn about regional projects. The event was once again chaired by Louise Unsworth with delegates from across the region.
We want to make sure the network events continue to offer value to those working in the region and would welcome any feedback with a view to improving future events. Please email info@phine.org.uk with your comments.
