We’re proud to do policy-focused work that aims to give everyone the best chance to live a healthy life, no matter who they are or where they live. On this page you’ll be able to read our recent position statements which tell you what we think on a number of different issues. You’ll also be able to read consultation responses which we’ve developed in collaboration with our members to help inform policy development in a way that puts public health at the heart of the narrative.

FPH Vision for the Public's Health

Our Vision for the Public's Health is a national call to action, setting out pragmatic, evidence-informed recommendations to improve health and tackle inequalities.

At the heart of our vision is the belief that everyone deserves the chance to live a long and healthy life, and that it is unacceptable for people's life expectancy and health outcomes to be determined by their postcode, ethnicity or income.

FPH Policy Briefings

FPH has published a set of Policy Briefings that were written by our Special Interest Groups to provide an insight into key public health issues being experienced within the UK and overseas.

Each brief provides an overview of the issue, highlights FPH’s current work in the field, our current policy position, and a series of FPH policy recommendations that set out some key actions that should be taken. They also highlight current and proposed policies in the UK that are being put forward to tackle the relevant issue.
