1 FUNCTIONS OF THE LOCAL PUBLIC HEALTH SYSTEM Introduction This document sets out the local PH function in England. It was originally drafted by a working group led by Maggie Rae, FPH Local Board Member and Corporate Director of Public Health and Public Protection for Wiltshire Council, with help from Ruth Woolley, Frances Chinemana and many other Fellows of the Faculty. It has subsequently been reviewed by a working group comprising representatives from the different domains of PH practice and from Public Health England. These functions are written with the public health system in England in mind. However we believe they are relevant to public health practice in other jurisdictions and we recognise further development will be required to ensure local compatibility in this regard. Public health requires effective action by many different organisations and players. The balance of responsibility will vary from place to place, but the essential functions which must be assured in every locality remain constant. It is these functions which we have set out in this document,. The local delivery of public healthh The functions have been presented within the three domains of public health practice health protection, health improvement and health services plus the underpinning functions of public health intelligence, academic public health and workforce development that are integral to each of the three domains Health Protection Action for clean air, water and food, infectious disease control, protection against environmental health hazards and emergency response Health Improvement Wide ranging action to improve health and wellbeing and to reducee health inequalities Health Services Action in servicee planning, commissioning and development, clinical effectiveness, clinical governancee and efficiency (in support of the GP led Clinical Commissioning Groups) Public Health Intelligence Surveillance, monitoring and assessment of healthh and the determinants of health, plus p the development of the public health evidence base and knowledge Academic Public Health Protect and promote evidence/knowledge base, evaluation, research Workforce Development Training and development for public health professionals, registrars and colleagues
