Through advocacy, mediation, empowerment, knowledge and practice we advise on policy development, provide education and training services, encourage scientific research, disseminate information and certify products,training centres and processes.
The RSPH is an independent charity formed in October 2008 with the merger of the Royal Society of Health (RSH) and the Royal Institute of Public Health (RIPH).
We are a membership organisation and have over 6,000 members. Membership of the RSPH is open to anyone working in the area of public health. It is a widely recognised mark of commitment to public health and brings real professional benefits.
Almost 100,000 people take our qualifications each year in subjects such as food hygiene, health and safety and health improvements. We also run conferences in food safety [], water, infection control and occupational medicine.
We run an accreditation service for health and safety related products and we also manage the second largest food packaging certification scheme in the UK.
