The Academy of Medical Sciences has matured quickly and found a distinctive niche amongst leading opinion formers and policy makers in healthcare and biomedical research. The Academy's 800 Fellows are the UK's leading medical scientists from hospitals, academia, public service and industry, and it is their expertise that gives the Academy its authority. The Academy campaigns vigorously to put science at the heart of the UK's public policy agenda in health, and to ensure that rapid advances in knowledge are translated as quickly as possible into benefits for patients. This paper briefly describes the work of the Academy and highlights the key achievements of the early years, particularly the Academy's role in drawing Government attention to the plight of academic medicine. The failure of clinical research to keep pace with scientific advances is now fully recognised and steps are being taken to establish new structures and to rebuild capacity in the UK.

Health science education may be a general application of science to the effective utilization of human resources for healthy and loaded society. it's received wider attention because of its urgency in securing prosperity for the folks and even additional relationship to social order. Medical Education may be a challenge to drugs and education in the context of universal declaration of human rights of individuals to Social Security which coated the risks of illness, invalidity, maternity, old age, death, education and opportunities to induce health data for a stronger and healthy living. Health is the one amongst the basic rights of individual while not discrimination of race, religion, political, economic and social condition. Key words: Health Science, Medical Education, Ayurveda, Unani, Homeopathy, Allopathy.

This book uncovers the secrets to success in academic publishing at all stages of the process. Drawing on his experience as the writer of over 300 articles, the author encourages scholars at all stages of their careers to unpack topic selection, data analysis for publication, writing preparation, drafting and editing, ethics, and manuscript submission.

Engaging public audiences with population health science necessarily requires a society level perspective; however, many existing communication strategies and programs tend to focus at the individual level. This paper describes a novel approach to engaging community members with the social determinants of health outcomes using an interactive exhibit within a science centre. The exhibit was capable of supporting understanding about social determinants of health in adults and children under the age of 15 within an average three-minute interaction. The presence of a facilitator who guided and supported discussions about the exhibit and its concepts with the visitors was also key to sustaining visitor engagement. These exploratory findings suggest the use of informal learning settings, such as science centres and museums, may provide a means to communicate population health and improve discourse about public health policy. ; The work was funded by the National Health and Medical Research Council of Australia (NHMRC) through its Partnership Centre grant scheme [grant number GNT9100001].
