This learning module looks at improving the health of the population, and reducing the morbidity and mortality associated with non-communicable diseases. Health education and promotion to tackle harmful behaviours such as excessive alcohol intake, smoking and having a poor diet are explored, and it is argued that each patient contact should involve health promotion and discussion about effective lifestyle behaviour change interventions.
