Benefits of specialist registration

For registered specialists

Specific job roles such as Director of Public Health or Consultant in Public Health require post holders to be registered at specialist level with the GMC, GDC or UKPHR.

For employers and commissioners

Employers and commissioners of public health can be assured that our specialist registrants follow UKPHR processes that align with their own due diligence requirements. Registration with UKPHR ensures that the specialist is competent and possesses a thorough understanding of the essential aspects of the public health role.

For the public

The public benefits by being assured of competence, integrity, and accountability in public health practice, knowing that registrants can be verified on a public register. Additionally, they can find reassurance in the knowledge that there is a designated point of contact to address complaints if issues arise.
