The public health system in the UK has evolved from medical officer posts rooted in the era of sanitary reform to a modern service embedded within the National Health Service. The challenge for today's public health function is to retain a broad-based philosophy encompassing population programmes addressing health inequalities, whilst also delivering the personalized approach to supporting lifestyle change which is being demanded increasingly.
英国的公共卫生系统已从卫生改革时代的医务官员岗位发展成为国民医疗服务体系中的一项现代服务。当今公共卫生职能面临的挑战是，既要秉持涵盖解决健康不平等问题的人口项目的广泛理念，又要提供日益受到需求的支持生活方式改变的个性化方法。
