Nurses and other public health practitioners have a crucial role to
play in helping to improve the collective well being of society and
so developing skills in public health – preventing disease,
prolonging life and promoting health – is key to this
process. Public Health Skills: A practical guide for nurses and
public health practitioners covers the complete spectrum of
public health practice: the effective assessment and management of
need, understanding policy and how to affect its implementation;
before moving on to explore practical issues and themes surrounding
the facilitation of public health. Within the four sections of the
book, the text is organised around the ten core public health
skills outlined in the National Occupational Standards for the
practice of public health, covering skills including surveillance
and assessment, collaborative working, working with communities,
strategy development, risk management, leadership and ethics.
Public Health Skills: A practical guide for nurses and public
health practitioners provides the fundamental, essential
knowledge and skills required to provide safe and effective
practice and is an invaluable resource for all those connected to
this vital, challenging and rapidly expanding aspect of health
provision.
