Peter Littlejohns, Christina R. Victor Making Sense of a Primary Care-Led Health Service

Annotation

The shift of services from acute hospitals to general practice requires clinicians to become actively involved in the process of change. This book sets out to demonstrate that with careful planning, implementation and evaluation of this process, problems can be avoided and the quality of service enhanced. The authors demonstrate a clear understanding of the practical issues involved and their evident enthusiasm for the opportunities now available will stimulate innovation in hospital staff, the health care team in general practice and NHS managers responsible for the delivery of a more efficient and responsible service.
