A chapter in Future Public Health, 2009, pp 292-301 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Public health in the UK encompasses a trio of policies and practices gathered under the rubric of health promotion, health protection and health improvement. They each, separately and in concert, are designed to secure improvements in the indices of public health, which, through statistics on mortality, morbidity and quality of life, reveal whether people in a given population are living longer, healthier and higher quality lives than their forbears, and whether, for any given population, variation in the statistics for subgroups show greater or less variation over time.
