Talk:Health promotion

Talk 1
Agree with WikiGremlin - Health Promotion is definitely not a nursing specific activity. It was better where it was before as part of health and public health - it is much bigger than nursing.Docjanf 12:03, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

I would have to disagree with the category that Health Promotion has been placed... i believe it should be put into a health care genre, not specific to an occupation, in this instance nursing. as meantioned in the ottawa charter, which was extensively quoted herein, health promotion doesnt just occur in hospital settings. the portion of the ottawa charter that discusses re-orienting of health services ie: allowing access to health care and information additionally, those that promote health arent only nurses... doctors, health promotion officers, allied health clinicans etc therefore i feel that it is inappropriate that the health promotion wiki should be moved to a different, more generalised health category.

I agree, but even more so. If you look at the WHO reports on this topic, they are basically reporting on broad based public health initiatives. I don't actually see how how "Health promotion" is anything other than a synonym for "public health activities".
