Health promotion specialists, also known as health education specialists, aim to educate people to live healthy lives.
Other areas of priority may include reducing the incidence of coronary heart disease and cancers, and educating the community on mental health, sexual health, and drug misuse.
Health promotion specialists can be involved in a variety of activities to promote good health, including:
working on public health campaigns such as screening and immunisation - working in partnership with a range of organisations, such as the NHS, voluntary organisations, local authorities and the police - researching the extent of public knowledge on particular health issues - working with the press and TV.
Health promotion specialists may work on specific health campaigns, such as giving up smoking, or their role may be to provide information and advice to key people like managers in health authorities and local councils.
Alternatively the work may involve collaborating with other health professionals, such as doctors and nurses, whose duties include health promotion.
As a health promotion specialist you would normally be office-based.
National Health Service authorities and trusts, local authorities or voluntary organisations may employ health promotion specialists.
The income of health promotion specialists varies depending on where they work and the organisation they work for. The starting salary for health promotion specialists would be about 18,000 a year. (Permalink)
