Thông tin chi tiết
Tóm tắt : | This publication provides a framework for understanding the staffing implications of current efforts to reform environmental health services in Europe. Addressed to national planners, the report gives particular attention to several changes in the discipline and practice of environmental health, and corresponding changes in staffing needs, that have followed recent international conferences, protocols and agreements. The book has four chapters. Chapter 1 considers the numerous core areas of responsibility now covered by the concept of environmental health. These range from accident and injury prevention, through air quality, food safety and pollution control, to occupational health, land-use planning, noise control, and tourism and recreational activities. Within each of these broad areas, specific functions and activities are identified and discussed in detail. Against this background, Chapter 2 introduces the concept of competence and describes the competencies necessary for environmental health professionals. Chapter 3 deals with those elements of institutional development needed to support professional practice, and discusses the evolving role of the private sector in environmental health services. The final chapter undertakes the complex task of identifying the specific groups of professionals involved in environmental health. Some 73 professions are identified. In view of the interdisciplinary nature of environmental health, the chapter gives particular attention to ways of developing collaboration and teamwork among members of this large body of professionals. viii, 124 p. |
