Synopsis

An Introduction to Community and Primary Health Care provides a comprehensive and practical explanation of the fundamentals of the social model of health care approach, preparing learners for professional practice in Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand. The fourth edition has been restructured into four parts covering theory, key skills for practice, working with diverse communities and the professional roles that nurses can enter as they transition to primary care and community health practice. Each chapter has been thoroughly revised to reflect the latest research and includes up-to-date case studies, reflection questions and critical thinking activities to strengthen students' knowledge and analytical skills. Written by an expert team of nurse authors with experience across a broad spectrum of professional roles, An Introduction to Community and Primary Health Care remains an indispensable resource for nursing students and health professionals engaging in community and primary health care.
