Public health has always been central to the population’s health
and well-being, and people working in public health come from a
wide range of disciplines and backgrounds. This practical and
accessible book maps out comprehensively the range of exciting and
varied options open to those considering a career in public health.
Uniquely, it provides helpful information on how to become either
as a fully-fledged specialist or to work in an operational
practitioner role. This second edition provides an update on the
variety of public health roles and the settings from which the
workforce operates, with the inclusion of new material on climate
change and sustainability. Written from a UK perspective, it
nevertheless includes a chapter on working in international and
global health. Each chapter is illustrated by career case studies
and vignettes from people currently working in public health,
illustrating their impact on improving or protecting the health of
communities, as well as reducing inequalities. In an era when the
COVID-19 pandemic has thrown the spotlight on just how important
public health roles are, this book should be essential reading for
anyone aspiring to put public health at the heart of their own
working life.
