In 2005, the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) was asked by the Department of Health to develop guidance on the effectiveness of different approaches and models aimed at changing knowledge, attitudes, and behaviour, at individual, community and population level. This was in the context of the Government's national strategy — Choosing Health — that emphasized the role and responsibility of individuals in making healthier choices, within a supportive environment, across different sectors of society. This chapter describes the theories used to provide the conceptual framework for the development of the guidance, sets out the guidance development process, discusses the range and nature of evidence considered, and outlines the areas covered by the recommendations.Less

This chapter widens the history from consideration of specialists to outline key changes from 2005 for public health practitioners from all backgrounds, as well as the attention given to others in the workforce who could benefit the public's health and ways, such as via specific networks, their development needs could be met. As part of this response to continuing public health challenges as outlined in the 2005 Choosing Health White Paper, the mid-2000s saw the development of national agreement on the core competencies for anyone working in public health as well as those skills needed for specific areas of practice, leading to development of a competency framework applicable to the whole public health workforce. The UKPHR from 2008 opened for registration of public health practitioners in addition to specialists.Less
