An evaluation of a public health practitioner registration programme: lessons learned for workforce development

Regulators, policy makers and system leaders need to consider how they can support the development of the public health workforce to gain professional recognition at all levels of public health, including practitioners alongside specialists, and support a professional career framework for the pub...
