and how the knowledge base provided by the book underpins
professional practice. The book will assist the development of the
knowledge, skills, and competences required for good medical
practice, and it uses UK case studies, activities, and policy
examples to illustrate key learning points.

This book provides essential guidance for professionals and
pre-qualifying students on how to gather and generate evidence of
the impact of projects in the community. Including case studies
from diverse community settings, it provides easy to implement,

complex processes of evidence gathering, it will help all those
involved with work in the community to demonstrate the impact and
value of their work. The book provides: * guidance for how to
present different findings to different audiences; * methods for
effectively demonstrating the value of your work; * how to
demonstrate the scale, quality and significance of impact.
Increasingly, those who work with communities are required to
demonstrate the impact of what they do for purposes that include
evaluation, self-evaluation and demonstrating the evidence of
impact for funders. This book is for professionals from any
discipline who choose to work with individuals or groups in a
community setting and who wish to show that their practice has an
impact, where impact is defined as a strong effect or influence on
participants. The purpose of the book is to explore the complexity
of demonstrating impact in a context where the learning is
frequently informal and where outcomes are complex, multifaceted
and difficult to pin down. An individuals journey in his or her
learning is idiosyncratic and often unpredictable. The book
explores ways to think about demonstrating impact in community
settings, and draws on the contrasting perspectives and experiences
of the editors, all of whom draw on their experience of work with
communities in different ways. The book also includes nine case
studies that illuminate in a practical manner the processes and
issues associated with gathering the evidence of impact. This book
is intended to be useful for both the early career professional
working with communities and the more experienced worker who wishes
to refine his/her thinking concerning impact. It is intended for
those working in any discipline where learning in the community is
important, who seek to enhance well-being, knowledge, skills and
capacities of individuals or communities. It is hoped that funders
and policy makers too will explore this book to gain an
understanding of the complexities and challenges associated with
demonstrating an impact on work with people and their communities.
