Public Health Training is regulated by two main bodies the UK Public Health Register and the General Medical Council. FPH work with these organisations to set standards and maintain quality within the training programme.
Organisations responsible for the regulation of training and registers.
Most of the regulations and procedures which apply to higher specialist training are found in A Guide to Specialist Registrar Training, informally known as the Orange Book, produced by the NHS Executive.
The success of training depends as much on registrars as on trainers and training opportunities
The enrolment process enables the Faculty of Public Health (FPH) to oversee and monitor the progress of registrars throughout their training, make recommendations to the regulators, the General Medical Council (GMC) and the UK Public Health Register (UKPHR), and maintain national standards of training by ensuring the excellence of the training provided in programmes
