Practitioner Registration
“There is a large number of public health workers who feel somewhat adrift in that they have no professional allegiance, no professional recognition, no career structure, nothing to aim for professionally - but we expect them to do a very professional job”
(From ADsPH response to the consultation on public health regulation)
Regulated training within public health currently exists for those working at the specialist level and there is a framework to ensure a minimum qualification for those working as Health Trainers and Health Trainer Champions. However, there is no professional regulation or career structure for public health practitioners.
The UK Public Health Register have been developing practitioner registration and following the four pilot schemes, discussions are now taking place about rolling this out across England. The School of Public Health North East sees decisions about practitioner registration as a priority.
The outcome of the meeting is a position paper and options appraisal which can be downloaded below. You can leave your comments on the issue and join the discussion here.
