Foundation Programme in Public Health

Build Your Public Health Skills - Make a Difference Where It Matters Most

Everyone has a part to play in creating healthier, fairer communities. The Foundation Programme in Public Health, accredited by the Royal Society for Public Health, helps you build the skills and confidence to do just that.

This flexible learning programme is designed for people across all sectors — from the NHS and GP practices to schools, local authorities, and community organisations. It gives you the practical tools and understanding to take action on the issues that shape people’s health every day.

The 10 Year Health Plan sets out a clear ambition: to shift our focus from treating illness to preventing it. This programme helps make that vision real - by equipping you to spot opportunities for prevention, understand the roots of health inequalities, and work with others to improve outcomes for everyone.

As Prof Bola Owolabi says, “tackling health inequalities is everyone’s business.” By building your public health knowledge, you’re helping turn that belief into everyday practice - one conversation, one decision, one community at a time.
