UK Faculty of Public Health 2023 Annual Report

Foreword from the President and Chief Executive

With 2023 bringing many new challenges and opportunities for the public health workforce, it has been a typically busy year for the Faculty and our members.

During the year, we were delighted to visit members in Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, and across the UK regions to better understand the challenges our members face on the ground, and how best the Faculty can support them as they work to tackle the health impacts of the cost-of-living crisis, respond to new and returning threats to health including measles, manage the next stage of the COVID-19 pandemic, and deliver many other outstanding programmes of work within an ever-shifting domestic and global political climate.

Delivering this work amidst an increasingly complex landscape has placed huge pressures on the public health workforce, and we would like to thank and congratulate every Faculty member for the work you have delivered during the past 12 months.

We would also like to particularly thank those members who have volunteered their time and expertise to work with the Faculty during 2023 – whether as examiners, advisors, assessors, special interest group or committee members, or representing members working regionally through the Faculty Board. The achievements outlined in the following report would not have been possible without your generosity and committed leadership.

Led by our Strategic Focus Areas 2022 – 25, over the past year the Faculty has delivered on our principles of working in partnership with our members and system collaborators to promote excellence in public health practice, advocate for the best conditions for health to flourish, and advocating the public health workforce as we meet the challenges of today and prepare for the future.

In our core business of Education and Training we have continued work to support a high quality, resilient, diverse, and inclusive public health workforce. The past year saw a record intake to the public health specialty training programme, with 131 registrars joining the scheme. Nearly 300 candidates sat our exams, and 70 different FPH Members and Fellows supported 200 Advisory Appointment Committee panels. In supporting our members and the wider public health workforce we have also worked through our Education and Training Committee to ensure improved clarity, equity, and experience for public health practitioners across their career pathway, including major work to support a Fair Training Culture in Public Health.

In recognition of the pressures faced by our members in responding to the COVID-19 pandemic and mounting challenges across the entire public health system, during 2023 the Faculty launched a new initiative focussed on workforce wellbeing. This work has included recruitment of Regional Wellbeing Champions to raise awareness, promote resources, and collate intelligence on the wellbeing of the public health workforce as well as our wellbeing-focussed 2023 membership survey.

Delivering on our role as an unequivocal and effective advocate for health and equity, we have leveraged our partnerships and influence as a system leader to lead impactful work on key areas of policy including child food nutrition, climate change, drug policy, and supporting better NHS prevention. All of this work is framed by the public health principles of equity and justice, and this past year we have continued our relentless focus on anti-racism, setting out our commitments and strategies in our recently published Anti-racism Framework.

UK Faculty of Public Health 2023 Annual Report

We also continued to drive forward public health knowledge and awareness through our programmes of work on the ‘Future of Public Health’ and ‘What is Public Health?’. Launched during 2023, our highly successful new Distinguished Lecture series on the future of public health practice has featured presentations from Professor Camara Jones and Professor Chris Whitty, whilst our new ‘What is Public Health?’ resources have shone a spotlight on our profession and the contributions of the diverse public health workforce.

Partnership working is at the foundation of all that we do at the Faculty, and during 2023 we deepened our formal and informal relationships with cross-system partners and allied professions. We launched a new collaborative membership offer with the Chartered Institute of Environmental Health, led work with the Royal College of General Practitioners on a new Dual Accreditation Programme, and delivered a stream at this year’s UKHSA Conference in collaboration with the Association of Directors of Public Health, the Royal Society for Public Health, and other key partners.

We also drove forward our global agenda, working with the World Health Organisation and other international partners to support global public health workforce capacity and preparedness. We agreed a new Memorandum of Understanding with the International Academy of Public Health to establish a framework for collaboration to promote global population health, and our newly formed Disasters and Humanitarian Response Special Interest Group now provides a platform for the Faculty and our members to lead necessary work to disseminate public health knowledge and best practice to colleagues and populations in urgent need.

These achievements, and others noted in the following report, represent the collective efforts of hundreds of Faculty members and other external partners, supported by a small but dedicated staff team. We again offer our thanks to those members who have worked with the Faculty during 2023 – and particularly the Faculty Board who have guided us so successfully through the past year.

We hope you enjoy reading this report, and we look forward to another year of working together to support better health for all.

Education and Training

Education and training ambitions for 2023

• n Start to develop a new ePortfolio system for registrars and trainers Procurement process completed and development work started.

• n Publish a report on equality issues in examinations and the training pathway Report drafted and scheduled for publication in early 2024.

• n Work with the General Medical Council (GMC) on changes to assessment criteria and potential new routes to registration

• New GMC routes launched in late 2023 and FPH guidance and support updated.

Education and training

During 2023, the Education and Training team delivered on core areas of work to ensure that public health registrars continued to be supported by the Faculty throughout their training.

Public health training curriculum

In August 2022, the Faculty launched the revised public health training curriculum and provided a series of resources and drop-in sessions to support the implementation of the new curriculum.

The team also administered several related processes including Out of Programme Training requests, the FPH project scheme, and the portfolio route for those seeking entry onto the Specialist Register with the GMC.

In 2023, we submitted our evaluation to the GMC regarding the implementation process and this was accepted by the regulators. In 2024, we will consider the next major curriculum review and develop a plan to manage this project.

The team engages with a range of bodies including the General Medical Council, the UK Public Health Register, Medical Royal Colleges, and statutory education bodies to do its work.

In 2023, there were 131 registrars enrolled onto the public health training programme and 79 recommended for Certificate of Completion of Training (CCT). The Faculty assessed three GMC portfolio pathway – formerly Certificate for Eligibility for Specialist Registration (CESR) – applications.

UK Faculty of Public Health 2023 Annual Report

Exams

After extensive consultation with public health registrars, regulators, and those involved in the delivery of the training programme, the Faculty decided in 2021 to keep the Diplomate Exam (DFPH) online and return to a face-to-face format for the Final Membership Exam (MFPH).

For the Diplomate Exam, we continued our partnership with TestReach to deliver the exam, and during 2023, 182 candidates sat the exam over two online sittings.

Four successful sittings of the Final Membership exam were delivered during 2023, with a total of 81 candidates sitting the exam.

32 examiners were involved in the marking process for the DFPH exam and 19 examiners were involved in the MFPH exam, a total of 51 examiners supporting our exams. The Faculty is immensely grateful to all these members for their contribution to maintaining the highest standards of public health practice.

A fair training culture in public health

In 2022 the Faculty published a ground-breaking report looking at inequalities in the recruitment process to the public health training programme.

During 2023, a number of actions were taken in response to that report including making the recruitment resources more accessible on a single NHS site, starting to review the numerical reasoning and critical reasoning tests for the assessment centre stage, and trainee-led development of targeted support to disadvantaged groups.

The Faculty has revised its process of assessing requests for reasonable adjustments from examination candidates and improved the accessibility of our exams through revision of the information on the Faculty website and the application process.

Work on the next stage of this programme of work, looking at exam and training outcomes was conducted throughout 2023, and will report in 2024

UK Faculty of Public Health 2023 Annual Report

Workforce and Standards

Workforce and standards ambitions for 2023

• n Launch a new Continuing Professional Development (CPD) diary within the FPH members’ portal to complement the revised policy introduced in April 2022 New CPD diary successfully launched in March 2023.

• n Revise the Faculty workforce strategy

• Work on revising the strategy started in 2023 and will be published in 2024.

• n Advocate for additional registrar places on the public health training programme 2023 was the highest ever intake of public health registrars on the training programme.

Senior appointments

FPH works to maintain standards in public health by reviewing and approving consultant-level job descriptions and by providing external assessors for interview panels.

2023 has been another busy year of senior public health appointments. During the year, 70 different FPH Members and Fellows sat on 199 Advisory Appointment Committee (AAC) interview panels in their role as Assessors. The Faculty approved 223 job descriptions throughout 2023, compared to 204 in 2022, 286 in 2021 and 244 in 2020.

FPH held three training days for Faculty Assessors to ensure continued capacity for this vital role, with 24 Members and Fellows attending the training.

CPD

In 2022 the Faculty introduced a major change to the CPD requirements for members, emphasising the role of reflection in public health practice. In 2023 we successfully launched a new online CPD diary within the members’ portal to complement the new policy; 1522 members made a submission via the new diary in the first year of operation.

Revalidation

During 2023, the Faculty acted as the designated revalidation body for 115 members, made 22 positive revalidation recommendations to the GMC, and held 104 appraisals.

During 2023, FPH commissioned an external review of the revalidation service we offer to members. The last external review was conducted in 2019, with the normal cycle having been disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The report of the review was finalised and agreed in early 2024.

10

UK Faculty of Public Health 2023 Annual Report

Workforce

The public health training programme expanded significantly in 2023 with a record 131 enrolments and we continue to advocate for additional public health training places. We will work with system partners to promote the role of public health specialists as they work with a range of employers, notably the NHS in England where public health specialists are increasingly supporting Integrated Care Systems (ICSs).

In 2023 the Faculty held a number of workshops focused on the future public health workforce and will continue to work with partners to improve capacity. We also began work on revising the FPH workforce strategy, which will be launched in 2024.

Public Health Accredited Practitioner Masterclasses

The Public Health Accredited Practitioner Masterclasses are an introduction to the basic concepts of public health for those who are new to the topic, as well as serving as a refresher course for experienced practitioners.

In response to the pandemic, the masterclasses were successfully moved to an online environment during 2020, and online delivery continued throughout 2023. The programme continues to be popular, and during 2023 the Faculty delivered 73 modular workshops for nine commissioners in England, Wales and Northern Ireland with 1,800 public health practitioners attending.

In recognition of the pressures faced by our members in responding to the COVID-19 pandemic, during 2023 the Faculty also launched a new initiative focused on wellbeing. The key aims of this initiative is to better support the wellbeing of FPH members across all four UK nations and overseas, as well as their wider multi-disciplinary teams, and to create supportive working environments essential to delivering high quality work to protect the public’s health. This work has included opening recruitment for new Regional Wellbeing Champions who will raise awareness of the systemic factors affecting wellbeing, promote relevant resources, and collate intelligence on issues that impact on the wellbeing of the public health workforce.

UK Faculty of Public Health 2023 Annual Report

COVID-19

Three years on from the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, during 2023 the Faculty continued to monitor members’ wellbeing and take forward learning and legacies from the pandemic.

In June 2023, the independent public inquiry into COVID-19 started public hearings. The inquiry, chaired by Baroness Heather Hallett, is looking at the United Kingdom’s response to, and the impact of, the pandemic and lessons for the future.

The Faculty’s President, Professor Kevin Fenton, provided oral evidence in July 2023 as part of module 1 of the inquiry and the Faculty has worked with other colleges and faculties, along with the Academy of Medical Royal Colleges, to support and inform the inquiry’s work.

Climate and health

The Faculty’s work on climate and health, and the public health role in responding to and addressing these challenges, was further developed in 2023. Working through our Climate and Health Committee and Sustainable Development Special Interest Group, the Faculty held a major conference on climate and health in June 2023, and further events on air quality, communicating climate change messages, - embedding climate into the training curriculum, and a post COP28 stock take.

Consultation responses

Throughout 2023, the Faculty worked with our members to provide informed, authoritative responses to consultation documents. We responded to 22 formal consultations in 2023 including antimicrobial resistance, prevention in health and social care, health protection regulations, tobacco control, air quality and men’s health.

Health inequalities

During 2023, health inequalities remained at the foundation of the Faculty’s advocacy work. We continued our work on poverty and the cost of living crisis, jointly holding a conference in 2023 with public health partner bodies and publishing a statement on public health and poverty. A follow-up event will be held in 2024.

The Faculty contributed to – and supported the development of – the Smoke-free generation proposals, started a major piece of advocacy work on children’s food poverty and free school meals, and hosted a round table meeting on migration health in 2023. We also published a range of policy briefngs on a number of key public health topics.

The FPH also ran one of the four workstreams at the UK Health Security Agency conference in Leeds in November, focusing on health inequalities.

Special Interest Groups

The Faculty’s Special Interest Groups went from strength to strength during 2023. There are currently 36 different SIGs covering a vast range of public health topics and policy areas, all driven by the commitment and expertise of Faculty members.

Five new SIGs were formed in 2023, looking at artificial intelligence, disasters and humanitarian response, emergency services, non-communicable diseases in low and middleincome countries, and women’s health.

Outstanding public health advocacy was delivered by many SIGs, including on drug policy reform, climate change and sustainability, food, poverty, and sexual and reproductive health.

SIGs continue to be a critical way for the Faculty to develop public health advocacy and for members to explore and contribute to policy areas they are interested in.

FPH membership survey

The Faculty launched its membership survey in late 2023 with a new focus on wellbeing issues. The survey closed in January 2024 and the results will be analysed in early 2024

CIEH membership offer

During 2023 the Faculty joined with the Chartered Institute of Environmental Health (CIEH) to offer reciprocal membership at no extra cost to members. Existing members of FPH are offered the opportunity to opt-in to CIEH Affiliate membership and receive access to all of the associated membership benefits. In reciprocity, all existing members of CIEH are offered the opportunity to opt-in to FPH Associate membership, which has resulted in significant increases to the total FPH membership.

New Faculty website

Over the summer months, we started the process of upgrading the FPH website to refresh the design and introduce some new functionality. The website launched in November 2023 and we have received overwhelmingly positive feedback.

Elections

Elections were held during 2023 for a new Assistant Registrar, five Local Board Members, five Faculty Advisers, ten Deputy Faculty Advisers and five Regional CPD Advisers, with the majority of posts successfully recruited to. A number of Deputy Faculty Adviser and CPD Adviser posts remain vacant due to a lack of nominations.

Members volunteering their time to work with the Faculty

Over 25 committees report directly and indirectly to the Board of Trustees, and approximately 350 members take an active role in at least one or more of these committees.

All of the Faculty members who volunteer their time and expertise to deliver roles such as Faculty Adviser, Committee or SIG Member, Assessor, CPD Adviser, Examiner, or Board Member are essential to the continued successes of the Faculty. We thank them for their dedication, commitment, and support.

Work to update IT infrastructure; Membership Portal & Customer Relationship Management (CRM) systems

In 2023 we successfully launched a further four phases of the members’ portal, including updates to our internal systems to facilitate this work:

1. New CPD diary – now linked and within the members profile and portal account.

2. Enrolment process for Specialist Registrars (StRs) – enabling seamless enrolment of new StRs including uploading documents and making payments.

3. Joining and full profile function – enabling individuals to join and apply for membership, pay and download their certificates, invoices and receipts, and upgrade membership where relevant.

4. AACs function – enabling assessors to review and provide feedback to AAC’s via the members portal.

The remaining three phases will be launched in 2024.

Global health

In June 2023, we were pleased to welcome Elizabeth Mason as new chair of the Faculty’s Global Health Committee. We would like to record our sincere thanks to Neil Squires for his excellent leadership of the committee over many years.

The Faculty continued to support delivery of the World Health Organisation (WHO) roadmap on building the public health and emergency workforce and is represented on the steering group by Professor Squires and Fatai Ogunalyi, former chair of the FPH Specialty Registrars Committee (now a consultant in public health). The Global Health Committee and its SIGs also continued to foster collaboration with other agencies, including the International Association of National Public Health Institutes (IANPHI), the Association of Schools of Public Health in the European Region (ASPHER), and the Association of Public Health Schools in Africa (ASPHA).

Led by Nicole Klynman, our global health advocacy lead, a project was undertaken on ‘resettlement schemes for newly arrived migrants to the UK and key public health concerns: a focus on Afghan and Ukrainian refugees’. A final report will be available in 2024.

Our global health SIGs remain highly active and delivered excellent work during 2023. Activities included:

UK Faculty of Public Health 2023 Annual Report

Treasurer’s Report 2023

I am pleased to present my second report as the FPH Treasurer, and to report that the Faculty achieved an unrestricted surplus of £195,442 in 2023 before investment Gains.

Income was up in 2023 mainly due to increased membership subscription income – despite membership fees being frozen for the fifth year.

Overall, unrestricted costs were up by 8% in 2023, due to the increase in staff costs being offset by a general decline in exam and overhead costs specifically governance, insurance and IT costs.

Financial summary

In looking at our financial statements, the most important figures to consider are those in the columns headed ‘unrestricted funds’. These are the sums that are fully available for FPH to use for our operational activities. The other types of funds we report in our accounts have various restrictions placed on them, and they cannot be used for everyday activity. Some of these funds, resource our prizes whilst others relate directly to grant-based projects.

The unrestricted surplus before investment gains (see below) was £195,442, this compares with an unrestricted surplus in 2022 before investment gains of £307,483.

Total investment gains on unrestricted funds were £85,945. These Gains were positive when compared to last year’s performance and showed a recovery in the last quarter.

In 2021 the trustees agreed a programme of improvements to our systems and transferred £485,000 from unrestricted reserves to a designated Systems Development Fund. £123,610 was used in 2022, and a further £156,829 in 2023.

Key objectives set out in the Faculty Financial Strategy have been achieved. A prudent budget has been set for 2024 and I have confidence that the improvement of the financial health of the Faculty will continue.

The total surplus for the year before investment gains was £249,052 compared with a surplus of £153,627 in 2022. The overall surplus after investment returns amounted to £334,997 compared with an overall deficit of £115,924 in 2022.

Investments

Our investments are managed by Evelyn Partners (formerly Smith and Williamson) Investment Managers. The key objectives of the FPH investment policy are:

1. Achieve an annual unrestricted income of at least £30,000 from dividends and interest (but it is recognised that this is ambitious in the current climate and revised our forecasts accordingly.)

2. Achieve a return on investment at least in line with inflation within an acceptable level of risk.

3. To channel investments into sectors (where possible) that promote and support public health objectives whilst maintaining acceptable returns where feasible.

Unrestricted investment income in 2023 was £28,336 up from £21,932 in 2022 and the total gain on investments was 4% compared to a loss of 16% in 2022.

22

UK Faculty of Public Health 2023 Annual Report

Unrestricted reserves

Unrestricted funds at 31 December (excluding designated funds) totalled £2,092,069 currently representing 12 months of normal operational expenditure and 90% of yearly unrestricted turnover.

We continue to aim to maintain reserves of at least 6 months normal operational expenditure.

Impact of COVID-19 and Financial sustainability The financial impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Faculty in 2023 was well-mitigated, which contrasted well with the adverse effects on many health organisations.

We have prepared a cash flow forecast to 31 December 2024 and we are confident that we can maintain our financial solvency whilst continuing to invest in IT system improvements.

Other reserves

The following amounts were held at 31 December 2023:

Designated funds	£320,354
Restricted funds	£177,797
Endowment funds	£45,710

UK Faculty of Public Health 2023 Annual Report

Thanks

In my second year as Treasurer, I remain very grateful for all the help received from my colleagues in the Faculty.

Firstly, to our President Kevin Fenton and the other Faculty Officers, Executive and Board Members. You constantly provide the appropriate level of both support and challenge, and it is a pleasure to work with you. A special mention once again to my predecessor Ellis Friedman with whom I worked closely on the significant changes to the Membership and Fellowship categories introduced this year. Kajol Kochar remains a constant source of support and wise counsel. George Sabaratnam left for another position shortly after the 2023 Annual General Meeting (AGM) and has been ably followed by Colin Money. Julian Ryder and James Gore continue to give invaluable advice. James in particular is the Faculty’s corporate memory bank, ensuring that lessons are learned from the past.

My colleagues on RMAFC continue to impress with their dedication to keeping the Faculty’s finances on track and our investments in line with the FPH’s high ethical standards. Our lay members Cathy Knowles and Shelagh Kirkland have established themselves as vital committee members during the relatively short time they have been with us. I would also like to thank Christina Gray who, despite a very busy day job, recently took up the role of Faculty Risk Advisor, which I had been temporarily covering.

Finally, a huge thanks to Caroline Wren, for her invaluable support of RMAFC. I am very much looking forward to continuing this important work during the final year of my current term.

Risk management

The Faculty has a risk register which is updated on a regular basis by managers. The register is then reviewed quarterly at the Risk Management, Audit & Finance Committee (RMAFC) who pay particular attention to all high-risk items. Our risk management process complies with the best practice as set out in the latest guidance from the Charity Commission. Significant risks to the Faculty include:

1. Operation: Membership unhappy with the way FPH is seen to be responding to COVID related matters. The Faculty has mitigated the impact of this by continuing to deliver services to our membership and the specialty whilst working in a hybrid format.

Mitigation: We have developed our digital offering, as well as our membership and committee engagement.

1. Operation: The Faculty recognises that there are risks associated with our IT functions and has designated funds for necessary upgrades. There will be additional demand on internal resources while the development takes place.

Mitigation: A Programme Board has been appointed by the trustees to have oversight of all major projects, including the budget and timelines.

1. Reputation/Operation: There is a reputational and operational risk to the Faculty that the required development of a new ePortfolio platform, will result in an inferior experience for users and/or loss of functionality/access to data.

Mitigation: This project is being closely managed through the Programme Board and numerous exploratory meetings will be carried out to ensure experiences, functionality and access is considered and minimised before implementation.

1. Reputation and Financial: The Faculty stores and processes personal and sensitive data of their members. We strive to protect data by complying with the General Data Protection Regulations.

Mitigation: Any new processes and services are required to have robust security as standard. The Faculty holds cyber security insurance and is working towards cyber essentials accreditation. We also mitigate against noncompliance by having a data management strategy including annual mandatory training for staff. We have appointed a data protection expert, and their support and guidance is utilised as and when needed.

The Risk Management Audit and Finance Committee is satisfied with the level of risk and the management controls in place to reduce the risks. In financial terms the risks to the organisation are not significant and the future of the Faculty is closely linked to the future development of the Public Health Specialty over time.

UK Faculty of Public Health 2023 Annual Report

Governance

The Faculty of Public Health is a faculty of the Royal Colleges of Physicians of the UK, the latter consisting of the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh, the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow and the Royal College of Physicians of London. FPH is a registered charity (charity number 263894) and its governing instrument is its Standing Orders.

The Faculty has given due consideration to Charity Commission published guidance on the operation of the Public Benefit requirement.

The trustees are the voting members of the FPH Board and comprise:

• n A representative of each of the three Royal Colleges of Physicians

• n FPH Officers

• n Ordinary Board Members, comprising Local and General Board Members

• n Co-opted members

The President and Vice President are elected by the membership through a single transferable vote system. Other officers are elected by the trustees. All officers are elected for a term of three years and, with the exception of the President, can stand for a further two-year term.

Ordinary Board Members are elected in accordance with the terms of Standing Orders 37-42 and the detailed procedures for the timetable and the single transferable vote system as agreed by the Board. Co-opted members are elected by the trustees.

The Board members who served during 2023 are listed in appendix 1.

Before taking office, new trustees are presented with the FPH trustee handbook and provided with an induction programme, including a briefing by the President and other officers as appropriate. The trustees are also invited to spend time with FPH staff so they can gain an understanding of how the organisation works.

The Board meets five times a year, once after the Annual General Meeting in accordance with Standing Order 49, three times to discuss general items of business and a fifth time as an away day. The functions and powers of the Board are detailed in Standing Orders 50 and 52.

The vision and mission of the charity were updated in 2019 as part of the development of the FPH strategy for 20202025.

The Executive Committee carries out the functions set out in Standing Order 63, which include the power to act on behalf of the Board at the request of the President on matters of urgency.

A number of other standing committees are appointed by the Board to provide the structure to support the principal purposes of the organisation and are, in general, chaired by the officer with responsibility for that function.

Sub-committees and special committees with a limited lifespan may be appointed by the Board to assist it in any matter. All committees report to the Board via the Executive Committee. The committee structure in 2023 is set out in appendix 2.

FPH relies heavily on its members who work voluntarily on committees and are appointed into posts to take forward the work programme.

The Chief Executive is appointed and removed by the Board and is responsible for the day-to-day management of the staff and FPH headquarters in accordance with guidelines agreed by the Board.

UK Faculty of Public Health 2023 Annual Report

Statement of Trustees’ Responsibilities

Status

The Faculty of Public Health of the Royal Colleges of Physicians of the United Kingdom is a registered charity. Its charity number is 263894.

The trustees are responsible for the preparation of the Annual Report and Financial Statements in accordance with the applicable laws and regulations.

Charity law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards) and applicable law.

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charity’s transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Professor Kevin Fenton CBE President

Under charity law, the trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of its net outgoing resources for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:

• n Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently

• n Observe the methods and principles in the Charities Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP)

• n Make judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent

• n State whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements

• n Prepare the financial statements on the going-concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue to operate

28

UK Faculty of Public Health 2023 Annual Report

Independent Auditor’s Report

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of The Faculty of Public Health (the ‘charity’) for the year ended 31 December 2023 which comprise the statement of financial activities, balance sheet, statement of cash flows and notes to the financial statements, including significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including FRS 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

Conclusions relating to going concern

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees’ use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on The Faculty of Public Health’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

In our opinion, the financial statements:

• n Give a true and fair view of the state of the charity’s affairs as at 31 December 2023 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, for the year then ended

• n Have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice

• n Have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Other Information

The other information comprises the information included in the trustees’ annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.

We have nothing to report in this regard.

29

UK Faculty of Public Health 2023 Annual Report

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

• n The information given in the trustees’ annual report is inconsistent in any material respect with the financial statements;

• n Sufficient accounting records have not been kept; or

• n The financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or

• n We have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit

Responsibilities of trustees

As explained more fully in the statement of trustees’ responsibilities set out in the trustees’ annual report, the trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

We have been appointed as auditor under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with regulations made under section 154 of that Act.

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of noncompliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud are set out below.

In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

30

UK Faculty of Public Health 2023 Annual Report

Capability of the audit in detecting irregularities

In identifying and assessing risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and noncompliance with laws and regulations, our procedures included the following:

• n We enquired of management and the Risk Management, Audit and Finance Committee, which included obtaining and reviewing supporting documentation, concerning the charity’s policies and procedures relating to:

• Identifying, evaluating, and complying with laws and regulations and whether they were aware of any instances of non-compliance;

• Detecting and responding to the risks of fraud and whether they have knowledge of any actual, suspected, or alleged fraud;

• The internal controls established to mitigate risks related to fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations.

• n We inspected the minutes of meetings of those charged with governance.

• n We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework that the charity operates in, focusing on those laws and regulations that had a material effect on the financial statements or that had a fundamental effect on the operations of the charity from our professional and sector experience.

• n We communicated applicable laws and regulations throughout the audit team and remained alert to any indications of non-compliance throughout the audit.

Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.

A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: www.frc.org. uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the charity’s trustees as a body, in accordance with section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and regulations made under section 154 of that Act. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charity’s trustees those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity’s trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Date: 03 June 2024

• n We reviewed any reports made to regulators.

• n We reviewed the financial statement disclosures and tested these to supporting documentation to assess compliance with applicable laws and regulations.

• n We performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships that may indicate risks of material misstatement due to fraud.

• n In addressing the risk of fraud through management override of controls, we tested the appropriateness of journal entries and other adjustments, assessed whether the judgements made in making accounting estimates are indicative of a potential bias and tested significant transactions that are unusual or those outside the normal course of business.

UK Faculty of Public Health 2023 Annual Report

Notes to the financial statements

For the year ended 31 December 2023

1 Accounting policies

a) Statutory information

The Faculty of Public Health is an unincorporated charity registered with the Charity Commission in England & Wales. The registered office address is 4 St. Andrews Place, London, NW1 4LB.

b) Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) - (Charities SORP FRS 102), The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.

The accounts (financial statements) have been prepared to give a ‘true and fair’ view and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a ‘true and fair view’. This departure has involved following Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued on 16 July 2014 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy or note.

In applying the financial reporting framework, the trustees have made a number of subjective judgements, for example in respect of significant accounting estimates. Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The nature of the estimation means the actual outcomes could differ from those estimates. Any significant estimates and judgements affecting these financial statements are detailed within the relevant accounting policy below.

c) Public benefit entity

The charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102.

d) Going concern

The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern. This is on the basis of the level of cash and investments held by the Faculty, in addition to an anticipated surplus in the year to 31 December 2024.

The trustees do not consider that there are any sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next reporting period.

e) Income

Incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) on the following basis:

• Membership subscriptions - amounts received in the current year and relating to the current year’s subscriptions.

• Examination and training fees - amounts received in the current year and relating to examinations and courses held in the current year.

• Revalidation fees, donations and legacies, gift aid and investment income - amounts received in the current year.

• Journal of Public Health and other income - amounts receivable where the Faculty is legally entitled to the income and the amounts can be reasonably quantified and the transfer of funds is probable.

Subscriptions, examination fees and other income received in advance of the related activity are deferred.

f) Interest receivable

• Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the bank.

• g) Fund accounting Restricted funds are to be used for specific purposes as laid down by the donor. Expenditure which meets these criteria is charged to the fund.

• Endowment funds are perpetual funds where only the income generated from them is used for operational pusposes. Capital growth / loss is adjusted to the value of the funds. Authority to change their nature and status lies with the donors.

Unrestricted funds are donations and other incoming resources received or generated for the charitable purposes.

Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular purposes.

h) Expenditure and irrecoverable VAT

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified under the following activity headings:

– Expenditure on charitable activities includes the costs of delivering services and other activities undertaken to further the purposes of the charity and their associated support costs

– Other expenditure represents those items not falling into any other heading

Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred.

i) Allocation of support costs

Resources expended are allocated to the particular activity where the cost relates directly to that activity. However, the cost of overall direction and administration of each activity, comprising the salary and overhead costs of the central function, is apportioned on the following basis which are an estimate, based on staff time, of the amount attributable to each activity.

Where information about the aims, objectives and projects of the charity is provided to potential beneficiaries, the costs associated with this publicity are allocated to charitable expenditure.

Support and governance costs are re-allocated to each of the activities on the following basis which is an estimate, based on staff time, of the amount attributable to each activity

–	Professional standards and membership	45%
–	Examination and training fees	23%
–	Public health policy and advocacy	26%
–	International	5%
–	Journal of Public Health	1%

Governance costs are the costs associated with the governance arrangements of the charity. These costs are associated with constitutional and statutory requirements and include any costs associated with the strategic management of the charity’s activities.

j) Operating leases

Rental charges are charged on a straight line basis over the term of the lease.

• k) Tangible fixed assets

Items of equipment are capitalised where the purchase price exceeds £5,000. Depreciation costs are allocated to activities on the basis of the use of the related assets in those activities. Assets are reviewed for impairment if circumstances indicate their carrying value may exceed their net realisable value and value in use.

Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write down the cost of each asset to its estimated residual value over its expected useful life. The straight line depreciation rates in use are as follows:

• Intangible assets- website and IT system development 5 years

• – Office and IT furniture and equipment 3 years

No depreciation has been provided on donated items as their NBV is considered a fair estimate of their value.

l) Listed investments

Investments are a form of basic financial instrument and are initially recognised at their transaction value and subsequently measured at their fair value as at the balance sheet date using the closing quoted market price. Any change in fair value will be recognised in the statement of financial activities. Investment gains and losses, whether realised or unrealised, are combined and shown in the heading “Net gains/(losses) on investments” in the statement of financial activities. The charity does not acquire put options, derivatives or other complex financial instruments.

m) Debtors

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.

n) Creditors and provisions

Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.

o) Financial instruments

The charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

p) Pensions

The charity contributes 12.5% of employees basic salaries to an auto-enrolment pension scheme. Alternatively staff may opt to have contributions made to authorised pension schemes of their choice.
