Health Improvement Qualifications
Contemporary Health and Social care policy* reinforces the need to address health inequalities alongside improving the health of the working age population.
The Level 2 Award in Understanding Health Improvement is being used in both public and private sector organisations to equip staff with the knowledge and skills to do just that.

A new Level 1 Award in Health Awareness has just been developed and is now available.
These unique awards are 10 hr programmes that allow flexibility in their delivery to accommodate local health issues and be tailored to your group needs.
The health improvement awards are part of the Qualifications [] and Credit Framework and mapped to National Occupational Standards, Skills for Health competencies and the Public Health Skills and Career Framework to support learners in their career progression. Assessed by simple multiple choice question tests, successful candidates are awarded RSPH [] certificates.
These two simple awards also have much to offer as tools for use with and by those concerned in realising work-life balance.
Support from RSPH []
Whether by registering as a Centre to deliver these awards by or by directly commissioning programmes RSPH [] is able to provide you with help:
- Train the tutor events - These are workshops held either at regional locations across England and Wales or may be provided for your trainers onsite at your organisation. The workshops enable your tutors to consider the core material and how they might best deliver it in your area.
- Delivery of programmes - We are able to offer places on ‘open courses’ or deliver either programme directly for you onsite at your organisation.
To discuss these options further contact: Nicolette Smith nsmith@rsph.org.uk
or telephone: 020 3177 1625
