Re: Letter to the Editor of Public Health in response to ‘History in health: health promotion's underexplored tool for change’

As someone who has traversed a number of professional boundaries in my career, I am only too aware how traditional disciplinary boundaries can be rather unhelpful at times. Like geography, health promotion has been described as a ‘magpie’ profession,1 borrowing heavily from a range of other disciplines; therefore, it is perhaps not surprising that there are a number of overlaps in interest and ideas. I do not see this as a problem. I have come to appreciate the various perspectives offered from different disciplines as a way of enriching our understanding.
