Health Policy Officers Network

The HPON is a peer group of health policy officers jointly administered by VHS and RNIB Scotland. The network is for small to medium sized third sector organisations and as at May 2020 it had 32 individual members from 25 different organisations. Members come together to discuss health related policy issues and consultations, to share intelligence, and build their policy skills and confidence. The focus is peer support and collaboration, but it is not a policy influencing or lobbying group. New members are always welcome.

To join the HPON or find out about future meetings, email Kiren Zubairi, Policy Engagement Officer:  Kiren.Zubairi@vhscotland.org.uk
