Policy and Practice in Promoting Public Health offers an up-to-date
analysis of the key policy and practice issues involved in
promoting public health - from local and community levels, to
international settings. The book equips readers with a sound
understanding of the policy process, and has a critical edge that
encourages readers to reflect on how those involved in
multidisciplinary public health can use and influence policy in
order to inform practice. Key issues discussed in the book include:
" the impact of globalization on health " developments of public
health since New Labour, and the political tensions arising from
the modernization of the NHS " changes in theoretical, conceptual
and ideological perspectives on multidisciplinary public health,
and the shift towards reducing health inequalities " the role of
health workers, local authority workers, the voluntary sector,
individuals, and families in public health practice " participatory
and community approaches to promoting public health " the ethical
dilemmas associated with working at community and local levels.
Each section of the book concludes with a case study, which pulls
together the key themes and issues raised in earlier chapters, and
links theoretical, policy and practical perspectives. Policy and
Practice in Promoting Public Health will be a core resource for
those studying public health and health promotion across a wide
range of health and social care disciplines and for professionals
and training organisations involved in promoting public health.
