Central to this course is the commitment to the process of enabling people and communities to increase control over their health and well being; this approach provides practitioners with the tools and knowledge to tackle inequalities in health and work towards combating social exclusion; teaching public health from this perspective means that the curriculum is based on a social model of health; it draws upon the multi-disciplinary, multiprofessional context of public health and engages with the interface between theory and practice; the course provides an opportunity to examine concepts of health, illness and disease in a social context, the social construction of health, social patterning of health illness and disease, and the effectiveness of interventions; it is informed by a wide range of academic disciplines, some of which include: sociology of health and illness, health policy, health psychology, health promotion, demography, epidemiology, statistics, management, research, ethics and philosophy.
