AHP Role-specific descriptors

These descriptions, and the accompanying handbook, highlight their contributions across the four key domains of public health: the wider determinants of health, health improvement, population health, health protection, and health inequalities. They focus on where and how AHP support worker roles can influence and improve the public’s health and encourage the reader to reflect on their current and potential roles and responsibilities.

These descriptors provide a range of examples of the different ways each AHP profession engages in public health. The list is not intended to be exhaustive. Many examples will span more than one area of public health practice so for the purpose of simplicity these have been positioned in the most obvious domain.
