Health policy : what/when/how?

MacVane Phipps, FE

Abstract

Health policy is a very broad term encompassing ways in which care is planned in a single setting to national or international guidelines to improve population health. Policy guidance may relate to prevention or treatment of a single illness or to environmental changes, which have multiple impacts on various different aspects of health. Health policy also relates to medicines development and management, the organisation of healthcare, models of healthcare and training and regulation of health professionals.
