Public Health Services

Public health is about ensuring our population is as healthy as possible. Doctors and nurses may look at you as an individual and decide what is best for your health. In public health, we look at people in groups to see what is best for them as a whole. This includes encouraging people to stop smoking, get their vaccinations and regular screening, making sure drinking water is safe and monitoring population health over time to identify any areas that may cause health problems in the future.
