Course details

More about this course
  • Public health and the promotion of health and well-being is now at the center of national and global agendas.
  • On this course, you'll reflect on the value of nurses as promoters of health, a model for nursing first established by Florence Nightingale, the founder of modern nursing.
  • You'll identify what it means exactly to be 'healthy', before going on to define what globalization is, and learn how it is impacting on healthcare.
  • You'll identify why your nursing might need to change with the times, and describe what the future of public health looks like in practice.
  • In week two, you'll go on to explore the concept of health promotion, understanding how nurses can act to empower individuals to lead healthier lives, just as Nightingale initiated nursing training and education programs.
  • You'll also consider the ethical dilemmas nurses can face when working in the field, and how to reconcile these with your work as social reformers and health campaigners.
