Public Health Practitioner Scheme- Welcome!

Public Health Practitioners are key members of the Public Health workforce and can have a great influence on the health and wellbeing of individuals, groups, communities and populations.  They work across the full breadth of Public Health from health improvement and health protection, to health information, community development and nutrition, in a wide range of settings from the NHS and local government to the voluntary and private sectors. UKPHR registration is the “gold standard” of practice and throughout the UK regional schemes are working to develop a registered public health workforce.

As well as supporting practitioners to develop a retrospective portfolio for registration with UKPHR, there is a comprehensive programme of CPD workshops and online seminars designed to support the wider public health workforce. These sessions are suitable for everyone working in public health settings.

If you are interested in becoming a UKPHR registered practitioner, please complete the short online introductory course here and then register your interest by completing the Expression of Interest.
