Description
The UK's health service is changing to emphasize the need for the public's involvement and empowerment in their own health. As well, the UK's Nursing and Midwifery Council has recognized this in their new standards for pre-registration nursing education by increasing the knowledge and skills required in health promotion and public health. Student nurses therefore need preparation for practice which brings health promotion into the forefront of nursing care. This book takes an up-to-date approach to the theory and practice of health promotion and public health, grounded in what nursing students need to know. It enables nursing students to become "health promoting" nurses of the future.
