Public Health & Infection Control
The health of individuals and communities worldwide is affected by a complex combination of factors. Where we live, our environment, genetics, income, education level, and our personal relationships all influence our health. This insightful program offers an overview of adult health and development, outlining the physical, social, emotional and intellectual stages of development we all experience. It illuminates the health status of adults, acknowledging gender differences and similarities and summarising the major determinants of health which affect societies worldwide. Throughout the program, expert input from doctors is balanced with personal opinions from everyday adults at all three stages of development.

This eye-opening program provides a global perspective on health and human development. We speak to experts from The Nossal Institute for Global Health, ActionAid, and Oxfam, and examine the important work they are doing in the world over. We define concepts of ‘human development’ and ‘developed’ and ‘developing’ countries, discuss mortality rates, and analyse the health status of different countries. We also describe the relationship between health, human development and sustainability, and evaluate WHO and UN strategies. We conclude by explaining the impact of health determinants on a nation’s health, and analysing equity and social justice.

The 'Convention on the Human Rights of Children', which asserts the fundamental right of children to be free from discrimination and disadvantage, is the single most ratified human rights treaty in history. Yet to this day there are still many factors that pose a risk to the health of the world's young. This program examines the most prominent of these risks: early pregnancy and childbirth, HIV/AIDs, malnutrition, mental illness, smoking, alcohol, and violence. The information in this program is supported by insight from experts in each field, and delivered with a non-alarmist approach that focuses on the facts.

This program provides a detailed overview of health promotion in today's society.

Each chapter provides a unique perspective of how to improve the health of individuals, as well as preventative measures such as immunisation and cancer screening. The program's practical approach looks at how the strategies are implemented, the target audience and the impact it has in individual behaviour and outcomes.

Continued activity is crucial to maintaining basic functioning. Ideally performed upon admission, the Hospital Admission Risk Profile (HARP) assessment can help caregivers to recognize older adults who may be at risk for functional loss so they can provide appropriate interventions to reduce basic ADL decline during hospitalization. The DVD outlines the importance of movement to patient recovery, provides strategies to keep patients active, and explains the age, cognitive, and functional parameters that help to determine risk.

We used to think that when it came to health, our celebrated egalitarianism extended to equal access to health services, good food and hygiene, resulting in equality in health. But today our understanding of health influences is defined by many more complex factors such as the money we earn, where we live and how we work.
In this program we examine the significant impact of income, region, occupation, race and gender on health, the ways in which this manifests itself and the implications for health both now and in the future.
This is an entertaining and informative program that will engage students on both a personal and theoretical level as we look at examples from around Australia and around the world, seeking solutions to inequalities in health.

This program examines what people are getting sick from, dying of and how age factors into health. With so many choices today in how we live, how are those choices affecting our health? What is it that causes ill health; is it simply our lifestyle, or is it non-lifestyle factors? Will better health require or mean better lifestyles, government intervention (better environment, anti-smoking legislation, better nutrition education, health promotion generally, etc.), or more research and more medical technology? Or is it up to each person's individual will?

Infection control in a health care setting is a fundamental responsibility shared by all staff. This video resource will ensure that infection control is front of mind for every worker. It starts by outlining the four principles of infection control, followed by a detailed examination of standard precautions that must be undertaken at all times, including a step-by-step demonstration of correct hand washing technique. Transmission-based precautions are explained, grouped into three broad groups: contact, droplet, and airborne. Finally, organisational support is described, including the importance of the infection control committee and regular health screenings for all staff.

Everyone agrees it's important to be healthy. That's why so many of the decisions we make in our daily life are about good health. Our ability to be healthy is determined by many different factors. In this program we explore the "determinants of health" or "influences on health" through practical examples over different life stages in today's society. We explain how health can be determined by a range of individual, social, cultural, environmental and lifestyle factors that are dynamic and interrelated. We conclude by highlighting education and awareness as the greatest influences on our health and the decisions we make.

Featuring input from CSIRO Virology, excellent graphics and clear explanations, this is an up-to-date and engaging look at the transmission, clinical features, diagnosis, treatment, prevention and control of these diseases.

"Brain drain" is a core problem in the developing world, and an especially tragic one in the field of health care. For many African countries, training new doctors and nurses is almost a fruitless enterprise-since, upon completion of their schooling, these young professionals typically leave for high-paying positions abroad. This program analyzes the predicament by following a young, Malawi-born gynecologist as he wrestles with a fateful decision. Should he earn a good living in the West or make a crucial difference in the life of his native country, albeit on a meager salary? His journey of discovery (and self-discovery) incorporates interviews with Malawian medical students, educators, nurses, and fellow doctors. Dr. Mubashar Sheikh of the Global Health Workforce Alliance is also featured.
Note: Only available in the US and Canada.

Health care reform was the first big policy deal taken on by the Obama administration. Many say the young president has bet the mid-term elections, possibly his presidency, on the outcome. In a new investigation FRONTLINE goes behind closed doors at the White House, in Congress and the boardrooms of the giant health-care lobby to examine the political battles and costly compromises that defined Barack Obama's endeavor.
