Professor John Reid
Visiting Professor
Having retired from full time practice in the health protection field, where I held a variety of specialist roles including; Consultant in Communicable Disease Control, Director of Public Health in Sefton, and Director of Chester and Merseyside Health Protection Unit, I currently offer specialist professional support and advice as Honorary Consultant in Public Health in Shropshire.
I am Module Leader for MPH Programme Shrewsbury, covering Communicable Diseases in Public Health (PH7018) and also the Economics of Health (PH7020). I also offer a contribution to MPH teaching in Chester.
I am Honorary Consultant in Public Health at Shropshire Public Health Department, and offer support to public health professionals on their CPD and personal development.
My recent research interests are in forms of CPD undertaken by professionals.
I have a long-standing interest in health protection applied research. This includes communicable disease outbreaks and environmental incidents.
