Our Work

RSPH Chief Executive William Roberts and Vice President Bola Owolabi speaking at an RSPH event

RSPH exists to improve the health of the public, and the greatest improvement can only be delivered through societal change – whether that is Government action, business reform, or changes to public attitudes.

That's why we strive to secure and promote that societal change through our policy, research and engagement with the public on the issues that matter to them.

Discover the breadth of ways RSPH works to improve the lives of communities and the people who make them.
