Witness Seminar and Open Forum Series (No 8)
Were we all we could be? Health Education in Scotland since 1970
Recorded on 30 September 2006
Health education, in its various forms, has a
long history. It expanded fairly rapidly as a profession within the NHS
from 1970 and health education activity within primary care, education
and environmental health grew with it. The development of health
education in Scotland since 1970 has not been fully explored within the
history of healthcare. There is some archival material, but until now
there has not been a project to collect the views and recollections of
people working in health education.
Earlier this year, NHS Health Scotland
recognised this gap in our understanding of the history of healthcare
and commissioned David Black of Communicable Health (himself a former
health education worker), Ronnie Scott of Creative Communications, and
Chris Nottingham of Glasgow Caledonian University to research and write
an outline history of health education in Scotland since 1970, using
oral history methodologies. This Witness Seminar and Open Forum was
commissioned as part of this research.
