The module aims to identify and analyse the theory and practice of preventative health and equity. Students will develop a critical understanding of the concepts and determinants of health and wellbeing. The conceptual, theoretical and philosophical frameworks that underpin prevention of ill health will be examined in detail. This will enable students to critically evaluate different models and approaches, and justify their use in different contexts. A key component of this module is the focus on promoting equity in health. Critical skills and understanding relating to the conduct of health needs assessment will be developed.

A lecture series will provide an understanding of health, preventative health, and equity in health. These lectures will explore risk, limitations, ethics and politics of implementing preventative health interventions. Each lecture will be accompanied by a reading list accessible through the University library.

Seminars will provide you with an opportunity to discuss and debate these key concepts in prevention and equity, with a specific view to assessing health equity and prevention within your own workplace.

Assessments will enable you to evidence your knowledge in report critically assessing health equity and prevention within your own organisation to draw together a set of recommendations and a presentation of these recommendations targeted at your employer.
