health promotion: the theoretical debate
Regents College, Inner Circle, Regents Park, London NW1 4NS
Friday 10th May 2002
A one day seminar to consider current theories of health
promotion This is the fifth annual seminar on theory in
health promotion. The previous seminars have been very
successful with participants welcoming the opportunity to
listen to, and debate with, leading thinkers on a variety
of issues concerning public health and health
promotion. This year's programme again features speakers
presenting a theoretical perspective on some vital issues
of health promotion practice. However this year is special
in that it features papers by some of the authors of a new
book, 'Promoting Health - Politics and Practice', shortly
to be published by Sage. The seminar will be of interest to
health promotion/public health specialists, academics and
activists; as well as those interested in this field. It is
not necessary to have attended the previous seminars to
find this one useful and enjoyable.
The event will be chaired by Lee Adams, Visiting Professor,
Sheffield Hallam University, who is one of the co- editors
of the book. Papers include:
