[Public Health Practice - Results of the Working Group 12 of the Forum Future Public Health, Berlin 2016]

This report focuses on the topic of Public Health in practice. The article summarizes the discussion of the Working Group 12. A first diagram shows how broad the definition of "Public Health practice" can be. Challenges as well as visions were articulated. In order to ensure individual and diverse health promotion for all, public health must be integrated as a central vision for the future in the daily routine and in the various living environments of the people as part of social life. To achieve this goal, public health actors in general and the public health service in particular must work closely with policy makers, cost-bearers, science and teaching and complement each other's work, while respecting their spheres of action. A precondition is adequate financial and human resources. Public health therefore deals with the design of living environments as well as with political structures and strategies.
