Public health is a discipline with fast-changing priorities and research developments. This subject involves many aspects of health, including service provision, trends in population morbidity from diseases and addictions, public safety and other social issues. In a modern global environment, national and international factors can all affect population health and wellbeing. Social determinants of public health, including health inequalities, are now of prime importance. These are found in current government policies which focus on localism, voluntarism, and lifestyle choice (Healthy Lives, Health People 2010) in the UK, and across the world with the World Health Organization (WHO) and the United Nations, and provide challenges to existing services to fight the current threats to the health of populations.
There is increasing recognition that public health requires a multidisciplinary approach, taking account of the wider social, political and economic factors that influence health. This course puts emphasis on the collaborative and multi-dimensional approaches and personal skills which are integral to working with individuals and communities to improve public health.
