In our modern, less deferential era, such approaches have become unsustainable. A third reason was the urge among public health campaigners for respectability and professionalism. When they started, many of the professional bodies and multidisciplinary associations had a radical edge, but over time a narrowing of vision and role led to a conservative focus on ensuring benefits to members, such as professional accreditation, career-building or education. If the public health movement had lost the plot, had anyone noticed?

These three strands influenced our work and, as two staff wrote in 1994, the action flowing from these was to ‘build up the building blocks for health, empower individually and collectively for people to get the most out of the systems and services, empower collectively to challenge the structures that determined their health experience’(Adams and Pintus, 1994).
