Public Health Practitioner Scheme- Welcome!
As of January 2023, there are 52 registered practitioners in the East of England, with a further 26 currently developing portfolios and 45 practitioners in our "development cohort" preparing for registration by completing the relevant CPD.
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.
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. For further information please click on the CPD link to the right.
