Public Health Nursing and Advocacy for Health Equity

Research output: Contribution to journalEditorial

Abstract

Public health nursing plays a crucial role in advancing health equity and social justice. This is despite a lack of investment and recognition in public health nursing. This editorial argues that in order for public health nursing to optimise opportunities to pursue and advocate for health equity, it will require solid investment in the workforce and leadership and changes in health care design, organisation and delivery. It will also need to recruit and support a diverse workforce that mirrors the population it serves.
