UKPHR Specialist registration by portfolio assessment
UKPHR’s Specialist Registration by Portfolio Assessment (SRbPA) registration is an alternative way of registering with UKPHR at Specialist level for those who have not undertaken the Standard Route of obtaining Specialist registration and are not on the GMC/GDC Public Health Specialty registers.
This registration route is aimed at those who are already working at Public Health consultant level and can demonstrate that they meet all UKPHR’s Knowledge and Show How competencies which you can view by clicking on the ‘Essential Documents’ box below.
Before you read on, please read the FAQ’s we have produced to gain more of an understanding of the process in its entirety.
There are two stages to the SRbPA application process:
- A pre-application. This includes an application form, a structured reference and other documents in support of your application. Compiling a pre-application can take considerable time so we would recommend that you click on the ‘Stage 1 – Pre-application stage’ box below and read all the information and guidance carefully.
- If your pre-application has been approved, you will then be invited to send in your portfolio. There is a deadline of 18 months from when your pre-application has been approved to submission of your portfolio.
