The HP&IO will work with the local Health and Wellbeing multi-disciplinary team to ensure the delivery of the relevant HSE West North West Plans. The primary focus of HP&I work in the immediate future is defined by four major work strands - HP&I support for CHNs, Chronic Disease Management Hubs (CDMs) and hospitals in the implementation of Healthy Ireland Implementation Plans; Training and the development of training models; External engagement and partnerships to scale up agreed national programmes; Staff health and wellbeing.

Health Promotion and Improvement Officers may be asked to assume local lead responsibility for, or work in a specialist capacity in relation to, a national priority area taking into account their other responsibilities. They will share in the responsibility for implementing national policy at local level including taking responsibility for a specific CHN(s) through the local teams and for monitoring and performance-management.
