title: Public health is every nurse's responsibility.
abstract: Nurses in all specialties and midwives can influence the public health of individuals, the wider community and the population as a whole. From theory to evidence, education to practice, and implementation to evaluation, there is a clear cycle by which nurses and midwives can have a demonstrable impact on the public's health. Public health is no longer the preserve of a few professionals and can and should be core to all nursing practice.
