Public health is concerned with protecting and improving the health of the population. Practitioners
working in the health and social care sectors need to be aware of the implications of public health
policy for services and those who use services.
You will explore how patterns of health and ill health of the population are monitored and how this leads to the
development of public health policy. You will consider factors affecting health locally and nationally.
You will consider different methods of promoting and protecting public health. You will develop an
appreciation of the barriers to be overcome with promoting public health and ways of making
people aware of public health issues. You will gain a greater understanding of how healthcare
professionals and government agencies use public health initiatives to encourage individuals to
change their behaviour in relation to their health.
