The twelve topics are the 'must-dos' of public health action. They have been selected because they are those addressed in current national public health strategies such as \u003ci\u003eSaving Lives: our healthier nation\u003c\/i\u003e, and comparable strategies in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Many are the subject of National Service Frameworks and other national policies and plans; they are often accompanied by targets which health workers are expected to meet. Topics often relate to each other (e.g. smoking and cancer) so cross-references will be provided.\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccessible and useful, in clear plain English.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProvides a foundation for further study, planning a work programme, or planning a strategy to meet targets.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePractical focus: on health inequalities and how to tackle them, and on help for practitioners who work at a community and one-to-one level.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExplicit links to national current public health policy and targets.
