Beschreibungen/Notizen

• Having established an acclaimed centre for public health studies at one of London's leading medical schools, Professor Walter Holland, a doctor by training, chose to base his post-retirement activities not there but at the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE), surrounded by social rather than medical scientists. [...]Holland had always been clear that there was more to health care than traditional doctoring-so his move to LSE can be seen not as abandoning anything but simply as a relocation along the spectrum of disciplinary interests that make up public health. According to Professor Alistair McGuire of the Department of Health Policy at LSE, “he put the study of avoidable mortality on the map”.
