Rethinking the public health workforce

"The report highlights the ‘early adopters’ in the wider workforce. These are the occupations who are already engaged with the public’s health, are enthusiastic to do more and should be acknowledged for their part in prevention. Examples include Fire & Rescue Services, Health Trainers, Allied Health Professions (12 distinct professions who make up 6% of the NHS workforce), Community Pharmacy, and Housing Associations. These occupations equate to over three quarters of a million people."
