RSPH LEVEL 2 AWARD IN IMPROVING THE PUBLIC'S HEALTH
Available spots
Service Description
The purpose of this qualification is to meet the need for a “radical upgrade in prevention and public health” set out in the NHS England Five Year Forward View (NHS England, 2014) and to meet the need for a sector-wide focus on “preventing illness and tackling health inequalities” set out in the NHS Long Term Plan (NHS England, 2019). This qualification is for people working in the wider public health workforce who wish to engage in prevention and improve health in their communities. Successful candidates will be able to support individuals in behaviour change that leads to healthier lifestyles and address local health issues. The Understanding the Wider Public Health Workforce report, published in 2015 by the Centre for Workforce Intelligence (CfWI) and RSPH, estimated that 15-20 million people in over 170 occupations work in the wider public health workforce. This is defined as “any individual who is not a specialist or practitioner in public health but has the opportunity or ability to positively impact health and wellbeing through their paid or unpaid work” (CfWI and RSPH, 2015).
