Dr Mike Bedford Bac, Mas, PhD
Senior Tutor - Health Sciences
School of Health SciencesI have worked in Public Health for four decades, initially in Environmental Health and Health Protection, including outbreak investigation, but then moving to Health Promotion, and becoming New Zealand's only specialist in early education and care as a setting for health. This specialisation has involved a wide range of health issues, from infection control to air quality, ergonomics to mental and emotional health. The settings approach requires understanding of early education pedagogy and philosophies, child development, and societal and business drivers. I also tutor in other aspects of environmental health, including noise, and the B.Env.Sc water and waste treatment paper.
