What is public health?
• ‘The science and art of promoting and protecting health and wellbeing, preventing ill health and prolonging life through the organised efforts of society’ (Faculty of Public Health definition)
There are three domains to public health;
• Health improvement (including people’s lifestyles as well as inequalities in health and the wider social influences of health),
• Health protection (including infectious diseases, environmental hazards and emergency preparedness)
• Health services (including service planning, efficiency, audit and evaluation).

Domain 1 – Health protection and resilience
Protect the population’s health from major emergencies and remain resilient to harm
Public health indicators (of which, some will be used locally to attract the Health Premium)
• The Domains above set out the high-level goals for public health. Each domain will require a national local balance for delivery, with an onus on local delivery across the NHS, social care services public health and other local partners, and with strong leadership from the Director of Public Health.
• Outcomes for public health will be measured by indicators, which are supported by centrally collated and analysed data sets. This should include indicators that target different age groups, and target communities that experience differential outcomes in health.
• It will be for each local area to determine how they will wish to use these indicators for local transparency in response to local needs identified through their Joint Strategic Needs Assessment, and considered within their local Joint Health and Well-being Strategies.
