Some of these involve technologies such as genomics and wearable devices for health tracking, but it also involves more traditional measures such as extending the fluoridation of water, improving access to smoking cessation services, and clearer nutritional labelling of food. It also considers threats such as antimicrobial resistant and decreased immunisation rates.<\/p>\n<p>It refers back to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lihnnhs.info\/maptoolkit\/2019\/01\/07\/nhs-long-term-plan\/\">Long Term Plan<\/a> and its emphasis on prevention. One of the initiatives mentioned in the Long Term Plan was <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lihnnhs.info\/maptoolkit\/2017\/05\/10\/hot-topic-social-prescribing\/\">social prescribing<\/a>, and this consultation recommends that there are 1,000 link workers recruited by 2021 to allow 900,000 people to benefit from social prescribing by 2024.<\/p>\n<p>The consultation does note that all this change in prevention needs to be underpinned by high-quality research, and the aim is to make the UK the world leader in public health and prevention research.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What does this mean for libraries?
