About this module
Although there have been improvements in public health across the globe there still remain great inequalities within regions/countries of the world. Social and medical determinants of these inequalities impact on the health of communities and populations. Public Health activities can play a key part in improving the health of families, communities and localities.
This module allows you to explore and examine the issues that relate to public health through an international lens in terms of determinants of health and through reflection on their own practice. Using essential elements of public health as a framework, you will be able to compare activities between regions/countries to inform their own knowledge in relation to their own area of public health.
Learning outcomes
On successful completion of the module you will be able to:
- Discuss and critically reflect on essential elements of public health theory and practice in relation to a population in your own region/country with those of a population in a different region/country
- Propose further recommendations to an identified global health issue in relation to a region/country with which you are familiar.
