This special supplement of the Faculty's Journal of Public Health — a journal which first entered publication over 100 years ago as the Journal of State Medicine — brings together a collection of papers reflecting on the journey that the Faculty, and the public health profession, has been on over the past 50 years.
'Public Health Professionals Delivering Better Health for all: 50 Years of the Faculty of Public Health' includes papers from professionals working across the entire public health system, with contributors delivering work at local, regional, national and international level across all areas of public health practice; health protection, health improvement, in health services, in academia and elsewhere in civil society.
FPH thanks all authors who have contributed papers to this collection, and a particular thanks to Dr. Farhang Tahzib for his work in drawing together this important reflection on 50 years of the Faculty of Public Health.
We also thank Faculty members for your support and dedication over the past 50 years, particularly those who have volunteered their time and expertise to work directly with us; the Faculty would not be in the strong position it is today without your generosity and commitment to improving the public’s health.
