PHE: Public Health England

Public Health England or PHE was a part of The Department of Health and Social Care until 2021 when it was replaced by the Office for Health Improvement and Disparities and the UK Health Security Agency.

Dissolved in 2021, Public Health England’s purpose was to improve England’s overall health and wellbeing. After the law change in 2018, they published a report outlining the barriers to accessing CBPMs on an NHS prescription.
