What is it?
HealthKnowledge was initially created to support the revision process for Public Health Specialist Registrars and Multidisciplinary Specialists, who were taking the Faculty of Public Health Medicine Diploma and Part 1 Membership Examination…but it has now changed dramatically into an holistic public health learning platform.

HealthKnowledge was initially created to support the revision process for Public Health Specialist Registrars and Multidisciplinary Specialists, who were taking the Faculty of Public Health Medicine Diploma and Part 1 Membership Examination…but it has now changed dramatically into an holistic public health learning platform.

In 2005 HealthKnowledge became an integral part of the Department of Health’s Informing Healthier Choices strategy, resulting in a fully developed learning forum, using different types of learning styles. It supports the continuing and professional development of those working in the fields of health and social care, voluntary organisations and others who wish to increase their public health skills by providing fast and easy access to quality learning materials.

What does it contain?
The ethos of the site is to have access to all, the copyright agreements for current modules are based on this premise. Copyright remains with the authors who agree permission for the use of their materials on the HealthKnowledge site. Some parts of the site currently require registration to allow access to all the leaning materials and tutor notes.

The site provides:

• An online public health textbook organised in relation to the Faculty of Public Health Part A syllabus, but also of benefit to anyone aiming to increase their public health competencies.
• E-learning modules based on the public health textbook at 2 different levels: practitioner and specialist, with multiple choice questions and feedback on the correct answers.
• A range of interactive learning modules in the form of audio podcasts with animated graphics and supporting video components, Q&As as well as further resources.
• Teaching resources with PowerPoint slides, workbooks and teacher notes.

Who is it for?
HealthKnowledge is a dedicated resource created for anyone working in health, social care and well-being across the NHS, Local Authorities, the voluntary and the private sector.
