Advisory Group
The UKPHR Board has an Advisory Group from which it takes advice on key public health matters. The Advisory Group is not a Committee of the Board; it is an independent group that represents a diverse mix from the NHS, local government, voluntary sector, higher education and professional groups all with an interest in public health.
A key role of the Advisory Group is to ensure that effective working links are maintained between the UKPHR and relevant professional organisations and groups. These links provide invaluable information on the overall professional development of the public health workforce in all sectors and professions. Through this information the Advisory Group provides advice to the UKPHR Board on development of policy frameworks for standards of competence, assessment and revalidation in public health practice, together with communication strategies.
The group has proved invaluable on advising on the practitioner and specialist routes to registration and other matters including implications of the 2010 Public Health White Paper.
The Advisory Group usually meets twice a year or when necessary. If you would like your organisation to have representation on this group or on an individual basis please contact us.
