Untapped Potential: The Role of Training in Public Health RSPH’s new report sets out the challenges the wider public health workforce is facing to protect the nation’s health, and the support they need to continue delivering crucial preventative interventions.

While the role of NHS staff in promoting health is rightly celebrated, it is less clear that Government fully understands how essential this broader workforce is.

Last week we celebrated Public Health Workforce Week.
