This module offers an engaging introduction to public health, highlighting its vital role in every aspect of nursing care. We will explore how our daily lives, communities, and environments shape health, going beyond individual conditions to understand the bigger picture of well-being. Students will be introduced to epidemiology and consider how we can work together to prevent ill health, promote healthier lifestyles and protect the public from harm. Crucially, this module challenges the idea that public health is a job for specialists, demonstrating how every nurse, whether adult, children, mental health or learning disability field has a powerful role in championing health and preventing ill health in their practice.
