Healthcare and Communities
What's the agenda?
Choice can mean empowerment or a license of advantage for the
better off. How do we ensure Choosing Health remains targeted on
reducing health inequality? How do healthy lifestyles surveys and
prevalence research help to measure the scale of problems such as
obesity, physical activity, alcohol consumption and smoking? Are
the 'Safe, Sensible, Social' goals of the 2008 alcohol strategy
being met? Can Social Marketing help bring about lifestyle changes?
How is it best to evaluate primary care health interventions to
check that results are being achieved? Can community pharmacies
survive the challenge posed by 'polyclinics'? What Workplace Health
Initiatives deliver real benefits in employee health and employer
performance?
