The voice of
healthcare educators
and researchers in England
The voice of members is strengthened by the Council working through the the Council of Deans of Health England, reflecting the devolved nature of health higher education policy.
CoDH England works closely with the Department of Health and Social Care, Department for Education, and the Office for Students on issues of relevance to the sector.
Each region is represented by its chair or representative as nominated by the regional deans groups and therefore the group is not open to new members.
