Advocacy skills are therefore a core competency of Public Health speciality training in the UK. A survey of UK-trained specialist registrars found that the perceived ability to advocate for PHP varied significantly across work settings. This study explores barriers and enablers to PHP advocacy across workplaces, offering insights into how advocacy can be better supported in the UK public health landscape.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>An online survey was sent to UK-based public health specialty trainees, consultants, and public health practitioners on the portfolio route to consultant practice currently.
