Prevention before cure: prioritising population health
BMA 27 March 2019
  • This policy paper contains a suggested framework for a cross-government approach to prioritising population health. 
  • The framework outlines four areas that should be considered: addressing the social determinants that influence health; increased and sustained funding for public health; prioritising prevention through the health service; and effective regulation to tackle key drivers of ill-health.
