Synopsis

This book brings together both the history of community involvement and health, and
ideas and proposals for further developing the potential of this approach. It explores
the "roots" and "branches" of community involvement, drawing together different
strands from within and outside the NHS. It explores the impact of the rapid changes
in the NHS on local communities and patients, and ways in which current policy can
enhance and enable the general public to be more involved in their own health and
effective service provision. Ideas, models, and case studies are used to illustrate
practical ways in which skills and knowledge can be enhanced.
