Definition of the term public health practitioner– The term public health practitioner is designed to describe a level of practice, not a specific job role or type of job. The United Kingdom Public Health Register (UKPHR) has taken the broad definition of a “public health practitioner” as someone who has autonomy in specific areas of public health work, continually developing their area of work and supporting others to understand it.
