Outcomes
1. Define the role of public health and health promotion in the protection of health and wellbeing and prevention of illness across the life
course from a local, national and international perspective.
2. Apply knowledge of how epidemiology, demography, genomics and the wider determinants of health, illness and wellbeing inform par-
ticipatory health needs assessment and community asset mapping approaches.
3. Develop health promotion resources through effective teamwork and the use of relevant evidence-based communication strategies
such as networking, partnership, community and public engagement to assist people to make informed choices when managing their
own health and wellbeing.
4. Explore opportunities to promote health and prevent ill health for those groups with demonstrable health inequalities and for those
with limitations caused by for example, social exclusion, reduced capacity, ill health and disability to achieve optimal health potential.
