Introduction to Core 1: Health Priorities in Australia
The content covered in each of the focus questions within Core 1 Health Priorities in Australia is inter-related. It is important to take a holistic view when revising this course. Developing a deep understanding of the relationship between content covered in each of the focus questions will help you to apply various health information. Develop a clear understanding of the relationships between the focus questions and dot points in the syllabus.
For example, think of the relationship between:
- epidemiology and the impact on health care facilities and services
- a growing and ageing population and health care facilities and services
- groups experiencing health inequities and the action areas needed to address Australia's health priorities
- high levels of preventable chronic disease, injury and mental health problems and health promotion based on the Ottawa Charter
Throughout the Core, you will find sections with key messages and reflections that encourage you to think more broadly.
Use the activities provided for practice. The answers suggested are examples only. They are designed to make you think about the key concepts for the Core.
