Opis

The National Primary Care Research and Development Centre series provides policy makers, commissioners, managers, primary care professionals and user organizations with up-to-date multi-disciplinary research on important issues that inform future decision-making for primary care development. Many primary care premises are ill-suited to accommodate the increasing range of primary and community health services. Several pioneering developments have already tackled this challenge, and ten such initiatives form the focus of this book. They illustrate achievable solutions to real-life problems and demonstrate how the processes of service and premises development evolve together. They show how funding packages must often come from multiple sources, how health authorities have a vital role in assessing local service needs, and how consequent improvements in service provision should involve a wide range of health organizations.
