Helping you to analyse current public health policies and practices, this module is one of the optional sections of the home study health course from ICS. When working towards a Health Services Management degree, learning how to interpret, develop and implement health promotion policy is of particular importance.

By choosing a home study health course with ICS, you will be able to study health promotion policy at your own pace, without the hassle of attending regular classes. Distance learning is a convenient and cost-effective way to learn about public health policies and practices.

The Policies and Practices in Health module is part of our home study health course, although you can also complete the unit on a standalone basis.
