for those working in PHN as it not only

summarises the steps that are necessary for successful intervention
but it also provides a number of practical examples that will help
understand each step of an intervention. It will also be of benefit
to students as a key textbook, providing them with basic
skills/knowledge in the area of PHN practice." (Journal Nutrition
