Walking makes the path, and in glancing back one sees the path that will never be trod again." Antonio Machedo (1912) 1 The 50th Anniversary of the UK Faculty of Public Health (FPH) provides an opportunity to celebrate its achievements and reflect on its part in the remarkable history of public health and the public's health in the UK and beyond. History is not merely a record of past events but the story of how purpose is accomplished and learnings in the advancement of the process towards a purpose, goal or mission and implications for the future. The creation of the FPH has been a significant milestone in the growth and development of public health as a professional discipline in the continuing efforts to promote public's health and achieve greater social justice. The FPH (formerly the Faculty of Community Medicine and then the Faculty of Public Health Medicine) was formed in 1972 as a result of a key recommendation of the Royal Commission on Medical Education (1965-68). It was set up as a joint, autonomous faculty by the three Royal Colleges of Physicians of the UK. At the inaugural meeting of the Faculty of Community Medicine on 15 March 1972, Lord Rosenheim, opened the meeting by noting that 'this is a historic occasion' and quoted from the Standing Orders that 'Community Medicine is that branch of medicine which deals with populations or groups rather than individual patients', and thus, it 'brings together within one discipline those who are presently engaged in the practice of public health, in the administration of the health services whether in hospital, local authority or central government, in relevant research and those responsible for undergraduate and postgraduate education in the University Departments of Social medicine'. 2 The first Board of the Faculty included distinguished doctors, all white men apart from Dr Maud Perry Menzies, the distinguished community physician specializing in maternal and child health from Glasgow in Scotland. Fifty years on the FPH has worked to enable non-medical public health professionals become formally recognized as members of the Faculty, with a President from non-medical background, the Faculty has had a third of its Presidents as women, more than

This study aimed to quantify the nature, frequency, severity and duration of the problem in the public health professional workforce.MethodsBetween 14 December 2021 and 23 February 2022, Faculty of Public Health (FPH) members were surveyed about their experiences of moral distress before and during the pandemic.ResultsIn total, 629 FPH members responded, of which, 405 (64%; 95% confidence interval [95%CI] = 61–68%) reported one or more experience of moral distress associated with their own action (or inaction), and 163 (26%; 95%CI = 23–29%) reported experiencing moral distress associated with a colleague’s or organization’s action (or inaction) since the start of the pandemic. The majority reported moral distress being more frequent during the pandemic and that the effects endured for over a week. In total, 56 respondents (9% of total sample, 14% of tho...

Some commentators have highlighted need for greater courage and purpose in public health leaders and systems.

Body of the session Surveys of the public health workforce and schools of public health have consistently highlighted need for education and training in public health ethics and law for some time and their key role for effective public health policy and practice. In this presentation there will be demonstration of the key findings of the surveys and their consequences, in...
