Perspectives in Public Health is a bi-monthly journal for RSPH members, practitioners, policy-makers, researchers and academics. Each issue includes features articles, current topics and opinions; news and views on current health issues; as well as updates on the Society's work. Furthermore, the journal also commissions articles for themed issues and publishes original peer-reviewed articles. 

Perspectives in Public Health's primary aim is to be an invaluable resource for the Society's members, who are health-promoting professionals from many disciplines, including environmental health, health protection, health and safety, food safety and nutrition, building and engineering, primary care, academia and government. 

For un-themed issues, the journal considers submissions on all aspects of public health across all disciplines, focusing firmly on the Society's mission 'Vision, Voice and Practice'. Typically, these are:

practice based

systematic reviews

original research reports

digests of policy analysis with relevance to practitioners

implementation and/or evaluation of health protection and health promotion initiatives

economic analyses of health protection and health promotion initiatives

The voice of the public and behaviour insights into health

It is an aim of the journal to publish quality articles that identify and address local, national and global inequalities and inequities.
