Specialty Training

The Faculty and public health training

The Faculty of Public Health (FPH) is responsible for overseeing the quality of training and professional development of public health consultants in the UK. We set and maintain the professional standards in the discipline.

This section provides information on all aspects of training in public health including curriculum and supporting information on training.

Developing a fair training culture in public health

Public health is a clinical specialty committed to reducing inequalities and our workforce must represent and reflect the diversity of the communities that we serve. Public health should also have an inclusive workforce where everyone is treated fairly and feels fully part of the profession. The Faculty has embarked on a programme of work looking at equalities across the public health career pathway and the details of this work can be found here.
