What are the CIEH Advisory Panels?

The CIEH Advisory Panels provide member-led insight, evidence and advice on policy and campaigning activity. Open to all CIEH members, these visible positions offer a platform to collaboratively shape policies, engage in networking events, and represent the profession in different forums, offering career development opportunities along the way.

Since 2024, there have been six primary panels:

We are looking to appoint to new posts on the following Advisory Panels:

  • Food Advisory Panel
  • Port Health Advisory Panel
  • Workplace Health and Safety Advisory Panel (formerly Health and Safety Advisory Panel)

What does being on a panel involve?

As a panel member, your informed perspectives will be instrumental in taking the profession forward, working with derived policy priorities. You'll help advise and guide CIEH as we work to deliver our core mission, while having opportunities to represent us in working groups, contribute to Environmental Health News (EHN), and help to enrich our conference and events programme. Importantly, much of this activity is eligible for CPD.

We design all engagements to respect your existing professional commitments, and panel members also receive exclusive benefits at CIEH conferences. Your expertise is crucial to fostering a safer, cleaner, and healthier environment for all.

As part of our commitment to full engagement with all parts of the community, we are particularly keen to recruit apprentice or student members onto our Advisory Panels. You don’t need to be an expert to get involved - this is a supportive platform to grow your skills, contribute to meaningful work, and collaborate with experienced professionals from across the environmental health specialisms.

“Participating in CIEH advisory panels has been an invaluable professional experience through my membership in our professional body. It provides the opportunity to shape the organisation's perspectives on professional matters, future directions, resource allocation, and activities. If you are passionate about CIEH, public health, and our remarkable profession, I strongly encourage you to consider applying for membership in one or more of these panels.”
Diana Tumova MSc CEnvH Grad.IOSH, Food Safety EHO
