title: Lessons from changing times.
abstract: It will not have escaped your notice that it is the centenary of the outbreak of the first world war. In nursing, the event has prompted the profession to look back on how society has changed but, as this month's issue shows, there are age-old public health challenges that have yet to be combated and new ones arising, to boot.
