The UKPHR London practitioner registration scheme is in need of verifiers to support our practitioners to gain registration, once their portfolio is complete, and we would like to offer training to recruit new verifiers.
The London Practitioner Registration Scheme provides a mechanism for practitioners to attain public health practitioner registration with the UK Public Health Register (UKPHR).
We currently have 25 practitioners working towards registration. Practitioners are provided with support and guidance through action learning
sets, masterclasses and peer mentoring.
Through independent scrutiny, verifiers perform the vital role of confirming the assessment process has resulted in a portfolio of evidence that meets the standards. Verifiers are responsible for the recommendation of portfolios to the UKPHR Registration Panel for professional registration.
