1 - Introducing Public Health

About this episode

This episode introduces public health, its definition, and its local context in Scotland.

You might know the panic of checking the time, only to realise you have 15 minutes to hurry downstairs to buy alcohol from your local Scottish shop. But did you know that is a specific public health strategy in Scotland to curb alcohol consumption? So, what do we actually mean by public health? This introductory episode will highlight its definition, give examples and put public health within a local context, while I discuss how I became interested in it.
