Overview
Key facts
The aim of this short course is to introduce students to core concepts and principles which underpin health improvement and health promotion as it is practised in England today. Public Health is a population-based activity devoted to promoting and protecting health and well-being, preventing ill-health and prolonging life through the organised efforts of society. It consists of three main areas of activity: health improvement (health promotion), health service quality and health protection. This module will establish the common principles which underpin health promotion practice, and then focus on teaching key concepts and approaches to health improvement activities.
University of Birmingham's Health Improvement programme will teach you more about this topic.
