Join over 1,500 registered Chartered Environmental Health Practitioners.
We are currently reviewing how members can access Chartered Status. Thank you to all the members who contributed to the first phase of this consultation, the results of which are here. The second phase will commence soon.
We have therefore paused entry to the Chartered Practitioner Programme. We aim to launch a new pathway to Chartered Status later in 2023 based on member feedback.
Chartered Status is the highest level of professional achievement within the environmental health profession and recognises an individual's breadth of knowledge and experience.
Chartered Environmental Health Practitioners (EHPs) can use the post-nominals 'CEnvH' and a digital credential to formally demonstrate that they have met the required standards.
Chartered EHPs are also eligible to enter the Occupational Safety and Health Consultants Register.
See our Pathways to Registration diagram to view the different pathways to Registration and the requirements for each.
