One of the things that we are trying to cultivate with WEPHREN is the involvement of network members around the world to support and offer advice to other members.
Whatever level of staff you are, and whatever your role is within prisons or prison health, YOU have developed experience in the field and you can help other people simply through sharing these experiences.

The ‘Resources’ section is for members to find and share guidance and articles on prison health issues. Please so send us links to documents and resources you think would be useful to other WEPHREN members on WEPHREN@ukhsa.gov.uk
Blogs are for writing about your experiences – a training course you attended, a new programme you are starting, how you are setting up your project, the process of applying for funding, ethics approval etc. Anyone who is a member can write a blog – tell us your experiences!
