Unique Attributes

Stimulating, practical ideas for health educators at all levels, in all relevant sectors.

Topicality

Health education is in the news; it is a high-profile topic for national government, local authorities, health authorities, and educational agencies. Yet budgets are often tight, and with public interest in the subject growing all the time, responsible groups have to be seen to be promoting health and awareness and improving conditions and facilities throughout the community in line with the evidence base. Health Education plays a crucial role in the development of a healthy, inclusive and equitable social, psychological and physical environment. It reflects current best practice, using an empowering, multi-dimensional, multi-professional approach which relates to all settings, organizations, and parts and levels of society, including schools, colleges, universities, the health services, the community and the workplace.
