School of Public Health and Community MedicineStatement of Interests:
The field of health promotion encompasses a wide range of strategies and sectors,with the social determinants of health providing a platform for analyses and action. Health promotion has an important role in fragile communities and societies: the health of a society is critical to its resilience; good health is required for communities and individuals to exercise their entitlements and rights. Innovative approaches (sports, the arts, respecting and integrating traditional practices to 'western approaches') to health promotion and in particular mental health promotion are of particular interest.Collaborative work with international colleagues is underway in a number of these areas.

Vascular and cardiovascular diseases are major factors in morbidity and mortality in patients with Type 2 diabetes. Studies have shown that lifestyle intervention, including diet and exercise, may halt the progression from impaired glucose tolerance to overt type 2 diabetes. The challenge for clinicians is implementation of research results into clinical practice. Developing an exercise prescription -achievable for patients in the 'everyday'- is one such research avenue worthy of pursuit.
