Rethinking the public health workforce

Rethinking the public health workforce With only 40,000 people estimated to be part of the core public health workforce, and in light of the crisis in lifestyle health issues, this report calls for anyone who has “the opportunity or ability to positively impact health and wellbeing through their work” to join the wider public health workforce. It identifies a number of services, such as the fire service, hairdressing and the postal service, which has the capacity to support public health work. Royal Society of Public Health
