The Oxford Textbook of Health Protection: Principles and Practice is a comprehensive guide to this important field, addressing all key domains, from communicable disease control and emergency preparedness to environmental public health. Written by leading practitioners and specialists in the field, the book is rooted in a practice-led and evidence-based, all-hazards approach, which facilitates easy access to real-world practice and application of health
protection and health security principles. This second edition has been fully revised and expanded to meet the needs of an ever-evolving audience and now sits within the authoritative Oxford Textbooks in Public
Health series.
This second edition includes 12 new chapters, covering new and emerging topics such as COVID-19 pandemics, genomics epidemiology, non-pharmaceutical interventions, and concepts and framework for future pandemic preparedness. The chapters are arranged into six distinct sections. Each chapter provides trustworthy evidence and a wealth of practical advice, including case studies in community and hospital settings, and practical scenarios. The real-life
scenarios provide topic-specific information, explore a wide range of responses using the 'what if' questions that are supported by tools of the trade to encourage reflection, and reinforce consolidation of
knowledge.
The book also includes a unique tool of self-contained checklists (SIMCARDS) covering more than 180 common and important topics that can arise in health protection practice (including those featured in the scenario chapters), with concise and succinct stand-alone quick reference guides on how to handle them within and out-of-hours.
This resource is essential reading for professionals working at all levels in public health and health
protection, including those with a non-specialist background in this continually evolving and complex field of public health.
'All the editors and authors have been active in the field of
health security and involved through experiential learning in the management of incidents, outbreaks, and other health protection situations for decades. All were at the forefront of the response to the COVID-19 pandemic. They are uniquely able to reflect pragmatically and personally on health security and health protection practice in a variety of situations. This book is, therefore, a practical product of the wealth of their combined experience and will support current professionals in their
efforts to ensure the protection and health security of individuals and populations in the UK and internationally.'
From the Foreword by Professor Dame Jenny Harries DBE DL, First
Chief Executive,
UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA)
