Preventing illness and improving the general health of the population is a vital priority for the health service with nurses expected to play a central role. Written using clear language this book explains what health promotion is and how it interacts with public health. It shows how health promotion can be implemented while drawing on the main theories, models and evidence that inform practice. The book covers the essential topics like lifestyle changes, health screening and patient education giving you the necessary tools and confidence to integrate health promotion into your day to day nursing practice.

Transforming Nursing Practice is a series tailor made for pre-registration student nurses. Each book in the series is:

  • Affordable

Excellent easily readable book with links to essential skills clusters. Naturally flows from health to public health. Inclusion of behaviour change extremely useful for building practical skills.
Scenarios on sexual health would be useful. And including sexuality and transgender as community groups/variations in patients that need to be considered.
