Royal Society for Public Health (RSPH)

Who we are

The Royal Society for Public Health (RSPH) is the longest-established public health body in the world, with more than 6,500 members drawn from the public health community in the UK and across the globe.

An independent health education charity based in central London, our vision is a world where everyone has the opportunity to optimise their health and wellbeing. To support this vision, we offer qualifications, host the national Health & Wellbeing Awards, and publish internationally-renowned academic journals.

We cover topics ranging from childhood obesity to vaccinations. We produce high-profile policy and research on public health issues that challenge, disrupt and bring fresh thinking that pushes boundaries and deters complacency on issues that are important to the public and its health.

We also campaign on major public health issues including drug policy reform, social media and mental wellbeing, and making our high streets healthier. Despite our illustrious heritage, we are at the cutting edge of public health excellence and innovation.
