The increasingly developing field of Population Health is a great career choice for those who wish to be at the forefront of healthcare advancement. Put simply, Population Health is concerned with the wide range of factors that can determine the health and the health outcomes of individuals, groups and populations. The growing pressures on healthcare systems globally are well documented, with chronic diseases, ageing populations and increased incidents of mental health. Advancements in medicine are improving health for more and more people, but inequalities in the healthcare received by people based on where they are born, live and work are prevalent. Population health aims to address these inequalities, by working to better understand the healthcare needs of groups of people, improving healthcare models and providing innovative solutions to meet people's health needs. This degree will give you a solid grounding in medical and life sciences, social sciences, epidemiology, demography, public health, and health informatics. You will also develop the academic and professional knowledge needed to determine systematic variations in the health of individuals and populations, as well as the skills and experience to apply this knowledge to practical solutions to improve health, wellbeing, and the delivery of health services.<br><br>Studying Population Health and Medical Sciences will open you up to a vast range of careers in the medical and life sciences sector including: Research, Health education, NHS and Care management, Clinical practice, Health informatics, Patient advocacy (eg The Kings fund, World Health organisation) and Policy development in health and governmental settings (Local, national and international). Swansea University's BSc Population Health and Medical Sciences also prepares eligible students for further professional training such as Physician Associate Studies and Graduate Entry Medicine.
