Gaining Professional Registration on the UK Public Health Register

Registration is designed to assure the public and employers that multidisciplinary public health professionals are appropriately qualified and competent. UKPHR sets standards for registration that are recognised throughout the United Kingdom and provide significant public protection from unprofessional or unethical behaviour.

The primary reason for the UKPHR is for the protection of the general public, professional accreditation and registrants may gain the benefit of improved access to employment.

We also provide additional portfolio development workshops for Public Health Wales and the Yorks and Humber regions. To express interest in joining one of our regional schemes, please click here.

What is a Public Health Practitioner?

The term ‘public health practitioner’ is designed to describe a level of practice, not a specific job role or type of job. UKPHR has taken the broad definition of a ‘public health practitioner’ as someone who has autonomy in specific areas of public health work, continually developing their area of work and supporting others to understand it. There are two routes to this type of registration; via a local registration scheme or successfully completing a public health practitioner apprenticeship.
