摘要
The public health system in the UK has evolved from medical officer posts rooted in the era of sanitary reform to a modern service embedded within the National Health Service. The challenge for today's public health function is to retain a broad-based philosophy encompassing population programmes addressing health inequalities, whilst also delivering the personalized approach to supporting lifestyle change which is being demanded increasingly.
