Public Health and Nursing: Drive Public Health Promotion

The promotion of well-being and public health is at the center of both national and international agendas. This course will help you reflect on the importance of nurses as health promoters. It is a model of nursing that Florence Nightingale established in 1927. Before you can define what it means to be healthy, you will need to understand what globalisation is and how it impacts healthcare. Your nursing practice will change as the times change, and you'll be able to identify reasons why. You'll explore the concept and practice of health promotion in week 2. Nightingale started nursing education and training programs. The ethical dilemmas that nurses face in this field and how you can reconcile them with your work as social reformers will be covered.
