What are primary health care sciences? 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. The first two chapters
review the historical background of primary care and the
organizational 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. Taking 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 cate
professionals, using GP education as an exemplar.
