The role of communities in improving health and how to support local populations.
In light of the Covid-19 pandemic, this 2nd edition has been updated with new material around vaccination and communicable disease and includes expanded coverage of mental health issues. There’s also a new ‘reflective thinking’ feature to encourage a more critical approach.
