National Director for Public Health Knowledge and Research

Iain Bell joined the organisation in July 2021 from the Office for National Statistics where, as Deputy National Statistician for Population and Public Policy, he was responsible for delivering the 2021 Census in England and Wales.

Having spent most of his career working on the wider determinants of health he says he already feels at home here at Public Health Wales.

Iain’s role encompasses data, knowledge and research and he brings his experience working through the pandemic at the ONS to this post and here will further develop the public’s appetite for innovative data sources, real-time information and awareness of public health.
