Our healthcare professional coalition

Healthy World, Secure Britain brings together a coalition of healthcare professionals who believe protecting global health is essential to protecting the UK.

Our members include frontline NHS workers, researchers, and public health experts who see first-hand how infectious diseases spread across borders and affect health systems worldwide. Together, they are speaking out about the importance of investing in global health programmes that prevent outbreaks, save lives, and reduce pressure on the NHS.

By sharing their expertise, coalition members are helping ensure the voices of healthcare professionals are heard in the national conversation about global health and the UK’s role in tackling infectious diseases worldwide.
