The text emphasises, explores and evaluates three themes:The shift from secondary to primary careEstablishing needs and priority careThe role of evaluation in evidence-based practice.Written by leading commentator s in nursing, policy and research, each chapter isbased on substantial research and case studies in practice, and focuses on the importance of evaluation.
