MPH PUBLIC HEALTH, KING'S COLLEGE LONDON

After completing a BSc in Human Nutrition, I qualified as a Registered Associate Nutritionist. In the last two years, I have been working in primary care, assessing clients at high risk of cardiovascular disease. Having worked in some of the most deprived areas of West London, I noticed that there was a lack of quality health education and interventions provided to the public. With local authorities now doing their part in tacking obesity, there still needs to be better representation for ethnic minorities, taking into consideration cultural barriers. I have a keen interest in health policy and hope this course will aid me to develop the knowledge and expertise to lead national public health campaigns as a British Muslim.
