Royal Institute of Public Health merged in 2008 with the Royal Society for Health to form Royal Society for Public Health (RSPH).[1]
History
The institute was the amalgamation of a few societies. The Metropolitan Association of Medical Officers of Health was an English society of metropolitan Medical Officer for Health established on 3 April 1856.[2] In 1869 "Metropolitan" was dropped from the title,[3] and in 1873 it became the Society of Medical Officers of Health, and in 1989 it became the Society of Public Health.
