Editorial – The health promotion workforce and workforce development

Marilyn Wise

Abstract

Introduction: A knowledgeable, skilled health promotion workforce is a key component of the capacity needed by nations to promote the health of their populations. The nature of health promotion (the discipline or area of practice), however, makes workforce development a complex issue. Questions such as who is in the health promotion workforce, what kinds of knowledge and skills they need, and what policy and organisational support they require, have not yet been answered definitively.
