Founded in 2018 by Dr. Shireen Kassam, Plant-Based Health Professionals UK (PBHP UK) is a non-profit organisation with over 1,000 members including hospital doctors, GPs, dietitians, nutritionists, nurses, patient advocates, and the public. The organisation is dedicated to promoting evidence-based, plant-based nutrition and lifestyle medicine and aims to shift conventional healthcare from merely treating established illnesses to actively preventing and reversing chronic diseases through diet and lifestyle interventions, while also championing planetary health.

To empower both healthcare professionals and the public, the organisation provides educational resources, hosts conferences, partners to offer lifestyle medicine qualifications, and advises policymakers on public health.
