Fully updated for its third edition, the Oxford Handbook of Primary
Care and Community Nursing is the essential guide to caring for
patients in primary care and in community settings. Concise and
comprehensive, the book provides the reader with both evidence-based
clinical knowledge as well as the organizational structure of community
health services.
Chapters range from common adult and paediatric health problems, to more
specific targeted advice for service users with extra needs and people
with long-term conditions. The handbook includes information on how
health and social care services are organised and funded, from common
technical care procedures to complex situations, alongside detailed
aspects of health promotion in adults, children, and adolescents.
With new topics on consultation frameworks and models, supporting young
people in their transition to the adult services, and female genital
mutilation, all clinical guidelines, epidemiology, and statistics have
been revised to reflect developments since the previous edition.
Providing an accessible and instant resource for everyday nursing, and a
benchmark of good practice, the Oxford Handbook of Primary Care and
Community Nursing is a unique and invaluable companion for all health
care professionals working in the primary care and community setting.
