The public health movement involved numerous individuals who made
the case for change and put new practices into place. However
despite a growing interest in how we understand history to inform
current evidence-based practice, there is no book focusing on our
progressive pioneers in public health and environmental health.
This book seeks to fill that gap. It examines carefully selected
public and environmental health pioneers who made a real difference
to the UK's health, some with international influence. Many of
these pioneers were criticised in their life-times, yet they had
the strength of character to know what they were doing was
fundamentally right and persevered, often against many odds.
Including chapters on: Thomas Fresh John Snow Duncan of Liverpool
Margaret McMillan George Cadbury Christopher Addison Margery Spring
Rice and others. This book will help readers place pioneers in a
wider context and to make more sense of their academic and
practitioner work today; how evidence (and what was historically
understood by it) underpins modern day practice; and how these
visionary pioneers developed their ideas into practice, some not
fully appreciated until after their own deaths. Pioneers in Public
Health sets the tone for a renewed focus on research into
evidence-based public and environmental health, which has become
subject of growing international interest in recent years.
