The Strategy of Preventive Medicine by Geoffrey Rose

The Strategy of Preventive Medicine by Geoffrey Rose

This is the central theme of Professor Rose's personal and unique book, in which he presents his ideas drawn from many year of work on preventive medicine strategies. Now in available in paperback, he explores the options for prevention, considering them from various view points - theoretical and scientific, sociological and poitical, practical and ethical. He contrasts the individual and population based strategies for prevention, and offers the concept of health as an issue for populations and not just for individuals. The applications of his ideas are illustrated by a variety of examples ranging from heart disease to alcoholism and roa accidents. Professor Rose, who has pioneered thinking on preventive medicine, hbas written an accessible book which will appeal to a wide range of readers, including clinicians, epidemiologists, public health workers, health service managers, and anyone who is concerned with the wider public issues of health.

Professor Kay-Tee Khaw trained in medicine at Girton College, Cambridge and then at St. Mary's Hospital London where she had the transforming experience of being taught clinical medicine and epidemiology by Geoffrey Rose. She was one of the students on the first year of the Masters in Epidemiology
course that Geoffrey Rose started in the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine and his ideas have continued to inspire her through many international clinical and academic posts. She is a principal investigator in EPIC, a prospective population study on diet, cancer, and chronic disease,
which involves 500,000 participants from ten European Countries which aims to identify nutritional, hormonal and other factors which determine good health. She also co-ordinates an annual World Heart Federation/World Health Organisation International Teaching Seminar, originated by Geoffrey Rose.
