Policy and Practice in Promoting Public Health (Published in association

by Cathy Lloyd (Editor), Stephen Handsley (Editor), Jenny Douglas
(Editor), Sarah Earle (Editor), Sue Spurr (Editor)
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Practice-Promoting-Published-association-University/dp/1412930731/ref=sr_1_5/026-8323346-6442013?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1187911447&sr=1-5
Synopsis
"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; and, 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.
