In this state-of-the-art synthesis of current knowledge, the phrase broadly encompasses the discovery, creation, accumulation and refinement of knowledge pertinent to primary health care. Jane Sims has brought together representatives from the various professions to give their unique perspectives on the current trends in primary health care in a discourse which will provide stimulating reading for all those who wish to improve their understanding of contemporary issues in this field. A number of themes run through the book.  \u003cp\u003eThe first two chapters review the historical background of primary care and the organisational changes that have occurred in the last two decades. The following four chapters deal more closely with professional and service issues arising from the various policy changes. The next three chapters discuss a number of novel approaches to the promotion of efficient care giving, and how the patient is increasingly an active partner in, rather than a passive recipient of, such innovations.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTaking up an issue arising from earlier chapters, the concluding chapter considers the impact of a changing health service on the educational needs of primary health care professionals, using GP education as an exemplar.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003ePrimary care in context.  \u003cp\u003eThe organisational development of primary care.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNursing: responding to the primary care led NHS.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePromoting interpersonal collaboration: the multidisciplinary face of primary health care.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePharmacy and primary health care.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePrimary mental health care.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eService innovations at the primary-secondary interface: the example of hospital at home.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePrimary care information technology.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe patient perspective.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eEducation for the 'new' NHS.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe way forward.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Nursing \u0026amp; ancillary services [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Nursing \u0026amp; ancillary services\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Nursing%20\u0026amp;%20ancillary%20services%20%5BMQ%5D%22\"\u003eMQ\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52449413366040,"sku":"9781861561039","price":53.57,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9781861561039.jpg?v=1785198622","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/primary-health-care-sciences-a-reader-paperback-softback-9781861561039","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
