2023 Public Health Advanced Practitioner Project Report

On behalf of the People in UK Public Health Group (PiUKPH) we are pleased to publish the Public Health Advanced Practitioner Development Project Report.

 

The Public Health Advanced Practitioner Development Project was commissioned by the People in UK Public Health (PIUKPH) Group in September 2021 to gain insights into the public health advanced practitioner workforce and provide evidence-based recommendations for appropriate career development interventions. The project was funded by Health Education England[1] (HEE) South East and supported by a working group of public health workforce development experts from across the four nations of the UK.

 

The project addressed the need for a working definition of a ‘Public Health Advanced Practitioner’, an understanding of the workforce’s characteristics, and the development of options for advanced practitioner development.

 

The project’s outputs include:

  • A finalised definition of public health advanced practitioners.
  • Eight evidence-based recommendations to address the identified challenges.
  • Final report of the Public Health Advanced Practitioner Development Project.
  • Lay Summary of the Public Health Advanced Practitioner Development Project
