Key Topics is a short, easy-to-read text that provides basic
information about twelve key topics in public health, such as
diabetes, cancer, smoking and teenage pregnancy, and how prevention
and health promotion should be tackled at community and one-to-one
levels. The twelve topics are the 'must-dos' of public health
action. They have been selected because they are those addressed in
current national public health strategies such as Saving Lives: our
healthier nation, and comparable strategies in Scotland, Wales and
Northern Ireland. Many are the subject of National Service
Frameworks and other national policies and plans; they are often
accompanied by targets which health workers are expected to meet.
Topics often relate to each other (e.g. smoking and cancer) so
cross-references will be provided. Accessible and useful, in clear
plain English. Provides a foundation for further study, planning a
work programme, or planning a strategy to meet targets. Practical
focus: on health inequalities and how to tackle them, and on help
for practitioners who work at a community and one-to-one level.
Explicit links to national current public health policy and
targets. Reflects recommendations based on best practice and
evidence of effectiveness. Focuses on a topic framework (except for
the last two chapters) in contrast to other frameworks for health
promotion and public health. Attractive layout making full use of
bullet points and boxes. Simple line diagrams or tables to
illustrate each chapter.
