The HP&IO will work with the local H&WB multi-disciplinary team to ensure the delivery of the relevant CHO, HG and Community Health Network Plans. The primary focus of HP&I work in the immediate future is defined by four major work strands - HP&I support for CHO Areas, CHNs and Hospital Groups 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 through the local teams and for monitoring and performance-management.
