Student Representatives

LAHP’s Student Representatives play a crucial role in working with students and the LAHP team to enhance our students’ experience, share ideas about LAHP’s work (including on training & cohort development, collaborations & partnerships, and equality, diversity & inclusion), and raise any concerns.
