On Wednesday 22 October 2025 over 350 delegates joined us for the Welsh Public Health Conference in Glamorgan Cricket, Sophia Gardens, Cardiff
Partners from the public, private, academic and third sectors joined us for our flagship event, which made its return for the first time since 2019.
The theme was ‘action today, for a healthier nation tomorrow’, and we were proud to kick off our conference with an inspiring creative piece from Duke Al, spoken word poet and artist Dom Tsoi, bringing the themes of prevention and fairness to life.

We were also joined by Monika Kosinska from the World Health Organization, who shared insights into the commercial determinants of health, Sarah Murphy MS, Minister for Mental Health and Wellbeing, who reiterated the importance of prevention to Welsh Government, and an inspiring panel of young people discussing the importance of involving young people in public health decisions
Workshops and lightning talks led by Public Health Wales members of staff throughout the day explored health inequalities, the wider determinants of health, mental and social wellbeing and climate action.
Thank you to everyone who attended, engaging with the workshops and contributing to the day. We hope you found it an opportunity to network, share learning and innovation and develop partnerships.
