Trade Review"'This book provides a timely and welcome addition to the public health literature. It's approach demonstrates the ways in which the development of public health practice and delivery have evolved to ensure we have high-quality health improvement and health protection services through a period of dynamic change. It recognises the enormous contribution of our specialist workforce in providing leadership, direction and working with others to improve people's health. I believe that the public health system, in its broadest sense, will find this a useful resource to develop their links into the specialist workforce and their thinking on their own, and colleagues', potential roles in taking forward our challenging public health agenda.' Fiona Adshead, in the Foreword"
