These teaching resources introduce pre-qualification health students to public health as an integral part of their day-to-day work so that they understand fully their potential for improving health beyond treating the individual. As well as encouraging health professionals to fulfill their public health role at work, the knowledge gained will ensure that they have an understanding of health and its determinants, which permit them to make healthier choices for themselves and their families.
