Creating Community Health - Interventions for Sustainable Healthcare

This important book explores how community-based interventions can bridge the gap between health services and the voluntary sector to create more sustainable, healthy communities.¿

Moving beyond a technologically driven, medicalised approach to healthcare, the book shows how social prescribing can provide a direct pathway to improving community health, embracing connection and challenging inequality. Written by a practicing GP, and illustrated through practical guidance, it demonstrates how this can offer a cost-effective, preventative means to improving health outcomes, enabling communities to be more resilient when confronting major issues such as climate change or pandemics.

Building to a case study of how these methods were used in one town, Ross-on-Wye, the book will be invaluable reading for those working in healthcare, public health, local authorities, and the voluntary sector, as well as students and researchers interested in these areas.

Summary

This important book explores how community-based interventions can bridge the gap between health services and the voluntary sector to create more sustainable, healthy communities.
