This open access book explores the question of who or what 'the
public' is within 'public health' in post-war Britain. Drawing on
historical research on the place of the public in public health in
Britain from the establishment of the National Health Service in
1948, the book presents a new perspective on the relationship
between state and citizen. Focusing on health education, health
surveys, heart disease and the development of vaccination policy
and practice, the book establishes that 'the public' was not one
thing but many. It considers how public health policy makers and
practitioners imagined the public or publics. These publics were
not mere constructions; they had agency and the ability to 'speak
back' to public health. The nature of publicness changed during the
latter half of the twentieth century, and this book argues that the
relationship between the public and public health offers a powerful
lens through which to examine such shifts.
