Donaldsons' Essential Public Health has been in continuous print
for 35 years, evolving through successive editions. This unrivalled
record of success for a textbook of public health shows the
enduring appeal of its content, style, and accessibility to
generations of students and practitioners. For many of today's
national and global public health leaders, the book was their guide
as they began their careers, their benchmark as they passed their
examinations and professional accreditation, and remains their
companion as a source of reference and refreshed knowledge for
teaching and practice. The book brings together, in one volume, the
main health problems experienced by populations and by the key
groups within them, the strategies for promoting health and
preventing disease, the principles and applications of
epidemiology, the main themes of health policy, and a description
of health service provision. This fourth edition marks the biggest
change to the book in 20 years. For the first time it sets each key
subject area in a global health context, whilst retaining its
traditional strength in covering population health for the United
Kingdom. New and revised chapters for this edition include: Health
in a changing world Communicable diseases Non-communicable diseases
Social determinants of health Quality and safety of healthcare
Mental health Disability Health in later life Environment and
health History of public health The content is wide-ranging and
written in an accessible and engaging style. It covers topics as
diverse as: the story of the 2014 Ebola virus outbreak in West
Africa; the elements of tobacco control policy; the health impact
of climate change; the global health organisational architecture;
the concept of health; the new paradigm of public mental health;
the biological pathways that link to the health effects of social
deprivation; the ideal of universal health coverage; the essentials
of immunisation; the basis of healthy ageing; the historical events
that led to the germ theory of disease and the Victorian sanitary
revolution. This new edition is essential reading for all
undergraduate and postgraduate students of public health, medicine,
nursing, health policy, social science, and public sector
management. Those embarking on a career in public health will find
it of great value throughout their professional life. The book is
also an extremely useful resource for established practitioners in
primary care, doctors, senior nurses, health system managers,
healthcare policy makers, civil servants in ministries of health,
and members of boards of health organisations.
