Recognising the breadth of ways health affects our work.

RSPH understands that your job doesn't have to say 'Public Health' in the title for you to have an important part to play in the wellbeing of your community. That's why we offer Associate grade membership as an option to anyone whose work impacts on public health outside of the core workforce.

Whether you're a town planner, a food safety operative, a pest controller, a tattoo artist or work in any number of other professions – if your work benefits the physical or mental health of the people around you, you could become an Associate member.

Why become an RSPH Associate?

Along with the community and recognition that come from joining an organisation of like-minded professionals, becoming an Associate of the Royal Society for Public Health includes a wide range of benefits:

AMRSPH post-nominals

Demonstrate your public health credentials and commitment through exclusive use of AMRSPH (Associate Member of the Royal Society for Public Health) post-nominal letters.
