What is policy, healthy public policy and health in all policies

Influencing policy is a key intervention in public health. Healthy public policy is a concept, perspective and approach where health and wellbeing are considered in all aspects of policy development and decision-making not only for health policies but also for policies that can affect health and wellbeing, such as environmental, housing, transport, education, agricultural policies. Healthy public policy and health in all policies are often used interchangeably. Health in all policies is a more recent term and is potentially best seen as a specific approach to developing healthy public policy.

Thanks

[@altitudedeepsessions]

so much understandable but I want to ask what are the key elements of the policy

[@ScienceandArtofPublicHealth]

My apologies for not replying sooner, thank you for the question, its a difficult question, hence my delay. One simple policy framework by (See, www.healthknowledge.org.uk/public-health-textbook/medical-sociology-policy-economics/4c-equality-equity-policy/problems-policy-implementation) argues that there are 4 key elements, content, context (social, cultural, economic, etc.), process (of policy-making) and actors (people and organisations involved in policy making). If you are talking about how to extract key aspects of a policy, then use the Table of Contents to work out the Aim/Vision, and key objectives of the policy and then, if discussed, key principles, and then what interventions/actions/activities that are recommended set out in the policy that other stakeholders at national, regional and local levels will implement.

[@ScienceandArtofPublicHealth]

Hi, Good point, policy is dynamic and needs monitoring and evaluation. There is another lecture in the series that discusses evaluating policies: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oIC1YmufjLqYa5Y
