| Description: |
This text offers an up-to-date analysis of the key policy and practice issues involved in promoting public health - from local and community levels, to international settings. The book equips readers with a sound understanding of the policy process, and encourages readers to reflect on how those involved in multidisciplinary public health can use and influence policy in order to inform practice.Key issues discussed in the book include: the impact of globalization on health; developments of public health since New Labour, and the political tensions arising from the modernization of the NHS; changes in theoretical, conceptual and ideological perspectives on multidisciplinary public health, and the shift towards reducing health inequalities; and the role of health workers, local authority workers, the voluntary sector, individuals, and families in public health practice.Each section of the book concludes with a case study, which pulls together the key themes and issues raised in earlier chapters, and links theoretical, policy and practical perspectives. |
