Green Public Health Society (GPHS)

Achieving a healthier environment is the goal of GPHS, and in order for a healthy environment to exist, there has to be an understanding amongst individuals, groups, and societies.

The Green Public Health Society (GPHS) was created out of an understanding that we can, not only as individuals and students at the University of Greenwich but also as voices that needs to be heard, create more awareness on Public Health challenges, be it acknowledging cultural differences, discrimination, abuse, violence, well-being, policy making, health-related behaviour, sustainability, or any other health-related concerns that needs to be addressed in order to improve the health of communities.
 

GPHS is a student-led awareness-raising platform focused on making individuals understand the significance of certain public health challenges and finding support to address them. With the combined efforts of every passionate member, the University of Greenwich, and every caring heart, GPHS will serve as a place where people can feel connected, safe, understood, and most importantly, where our voices can be heard.

AIM:

The core aims of the Green Public Health Society is embedded in the three (3) main aspects of the field of Public Health: to prevent ill health, protect lives, and promote health & well-being of individuals at the University of Greenwich and its neighbouring community. Achieving a healthier environment is the goal of GPHS, and GPHS will strive to achieve this goal by increasing awareness (informing, entertaining, and enlightening) through the help of students, staffs, organisations, and the general public.
