Promoting Health: The Primary Health Care Approach Paperback – 7 August 2017

4.2 out of 5 stars 6 ratings
Edition: 6th

Promoting Health examines the social, environmental, cultural and psychological determinants of health and illness and the role that primary health care has in addressing health inequalities and the broad range of skills that health practitioners need to address this issue.

In this new edition, the authors have uniquely utilised two fundamental tenets central to all health promotion practice and developed key features from both the World Health Organization’s Ottawa Charter for Health Promotion and the International Union for Health Promotion and Education’s Core Competencies for Health Promotion.

    We have been asked to use this book as a required reading for the course I am undertaking.
    This book discusses primary health careon primary, secondary levels.
    It also discusses ways to educate the community and help them take ownership of primary health.
    It discusses important issues within Australia and compares with third world countries.
    Excellent book, easy to read and a must for understanding what is Primary health.
