The Health Practice Management Handbook
Paperback. Library sticker to spine and FEP. Stamp to title page and page block. Text is clean, tight and bright. Black sticker to cover. The "Handbook" is targeted at the 5000 plus health practices in the UK which have opted out of the NHS in order to become independent contractors. Management techniques, taken for granted by people in the business world, are not generally taught in medical school or picked up in the daily pressure of caring for patients. As these GPs will have little knowledge of arranging their own business affairs, the "Health Practice Management Handbook" aims to provide a clear reference source and practical guide to running these health practices. Topics covered include financial management and accounting; marketing; human resource management; management information systems; business finance; negotiation techniques; and time management. Also included is a directory of suppliers of services Ex Library Usual Stamps

Measuring Health and Medical Outcomes (Social Research Today 3)
Library sticker to spine and FEP. Stamp to catalogue page and page block. Text and illustrations (line drawings and diagrams) clean, tight and bright. A clear analysis of the design, potential uses and limitations of questionnaires in measuring health from the perspective of the patient. Practical examples illustrate the methodological issues and guide the reader through good and bad practice. The book will appeal to academics, postgraduates and advanced undergraduates in medical sociology, health economics, social/health psychology, public health and epidemiology. It will also be extremely helpful to social science researchers outside these areas who have an interest in the use of questionnaires in an applied field. "Social research today" is a forthcoming series of books devoted to the illumination of significant methodological topics in the social sciences and professional social research. The structure of social inquiry combines two separate elements: empirical evidence and organizing ideas and theories. Both are necessary for successful social understanding; one without the other is barren. This series will be concerned with the means by which this structure is maintained and kept standing and upright. The books in the series are intended for undergraduates in the social sciences, postgraduate students undergoing research training, and those undertaking social research of whatever kind. Broadly conceived, research methodology refers to the general grounds for the validity of social science propositions. How do we know what we do know about the social world? More narrowly, it deals with questions such as h.

Health and Health Care in Later Life
cover is plastic protected; pages 1-30 loose from the binding, but intact; library plate and library sticker on half-title page; library stamp on catalogue page and page block. One of the most potent images of later life is the general association between age and ill health. The stereotype of later life is that it is characterized by universal and inevitable ill health. The ageing of the population is, therefore, regarded as problematic because of the high consumption of health and social care by older people. These two issues, the health status of older people and the provision of health and social care, are addressed in this volume. The first section of the book presents an overview of the physical and mental health in later life. It also addresses the health beliefs and behaviousr of older people. The second section of the book describes current patterns of health and social care utilization by older people and concludes with a discussion of how these may be affected by recent policy changes in Britain Ex-Library

Psychosocial Proccesses and Health, a Reader
Library sticker on spine and FEP. Understanding the links among social environment, emotion, behavior, and illness is a growing theme in medical and health education. The booming development in this field is reflected in the growth of disciplines such as health psychology, psychosocial epidemiology, and behavioral medicine. Until now, however, the basic literature has been awkwardly dispersed across medical and social science journals. Now the most important articles of the past thirty years are brought together in a single volume. The thirty-one articles are grouped around themes such as "Life stress, social support and health," "Psychophysiological processes in diseases," and "Behavioral interventions in medicine." The articles include such provocative topics as "Can lifestyle changes reverse coronary heart disease?," "Psychological response to breast cancer: effect on outcome," and "Psychological stress and susceptibility to the common cold." Each section is prefaced by an up-to-date review of the subject by the volume editors. Uniting biomedical, psychological, and social perspectives, this text will be an invaluable resource for both scholars and students of medicine, health sciences, and clinical and health psychology Government Library Reference

Implementing Change in the NHS, a Practical Guide for General Managers
Library sticker on spine and FEP. Stamp on FEP and title page. This text should be useful reading for all general managers who want to initiate organizational change. Managers develop their own view and understanding of how an organization works. They need to relate their own vision of how they would like to see the organization with existing knowledge about organizational theory and creating new cultures. The first part of the book provides this integration. The second part of the book offers an insight into how managers can approach the process of managing change, and a practical guide to improving their own skills. The discussion presents: case study material of how managers have sought to bring about change; suggestions as to how managers can examine and refine their own approaches to creating organizational change. This text should be an valuable read for general managers in the National Health Service. It will also be of interest to managers in other industrial contexts who are seeking an analysis of organizational change and how it can be carried out in the NHS Government Library Reference

Each chapter has been written by an authority in that field and includes issues of current debate. The book is aimed both at students new to the area and specialists wishing to read about the work of others in related fields, as well as seeking to serve as a useful source of information for general practitioners about the provision of women's health care from a primary care perspective.

Women's Health Matters
Library sticker on spine and FEP. Stamp on title page. Recently there has been an upsurge of interest in research on women's health. Some of the issues to be addressed are clear, though the methods and problems involved may not be. Women's Health Matters , like its sister volume Women's Health Counts , is a valuable and practical guide to doing feminist research on women's health. For people starting to do research, the completed monograph and the methodology textbook can give only a partial understanding of what it is like to do research and what the problems and pleasures really are. What, for instance are the pitfalls of obtaining funding, finding researchable topics, and managing research projects? This collection, with contributions by pioneering researchers and practitioners such Ann Oakley and Sheila Kitzinger, provides accounts of research work ranging from getting the research idea, through obtaining the funding and doing the research, to the practical problems faced, and eventual publication. The contributors all underline the value of qualitative data and women's own experience in assessing and interpreting health issues. Intended for social scientists, nurses and medical students, Women's Health Matters will be of enormous help both to those beginning to research women's health and to experienced researchers. These lively accounts, with their emphasis on the practical aspects of research, provide an excellent antidote to textbooks and manuals. Government Library Reference

AIDS: Women, Drugs and Social Care (Social Aspects of AIDS series)
Library sticker to spine and FEP. Stamp to contents page. HIV-positive women were asked about their concepts of and feelings towards HIV-positive people in general, HIV-positive women and HIV-positive drug users; about their own experience of caring for someone and about the practical and emotional needs of the person cared for and the carer. The contributors have written up these interviews and discussions to provide insights into these issues. Considering public and professional perceptions of HIV and drugs, it was found that there were considerable regional variations depending upon local circumstances. Four chapters concern themselves with this regionalized recognition of the needs around women, drugs and HIV. Those professionals, voluntary workers and family members who had experience of working with HIV-positive women were able to draw upon that direct experience, but members of the general population who had no such contact had opinions and judgements more likely to be directly shaped by public images. A report of their opinions and feelings towards HIV and drugs is given, based on market research carried out in the South-East and Midlands. Government Library Reference

Ethics in Health Education
Library sticker on spine and FEP. Stamp to title page. Some rubbing and wear to cover edges and corners. It is becoming increasingly clear that some of our most serious health problems are linked to lifestyle and behavior. However, community attitudes, government policies on the economy, environment and social issues, and the powerful impact of mass media are often at odds with messages stressed by health care professionals. This unique multidisciplinary volume describes the methods used to educate people to lead healthier lives and the means by which people learn. The range of issues covered is comprehensive, as international experts from a variety of backgrounds discuss the areas of major concern with the aim of stimulating interest and research among those working in the fields of health education, medical ethics, community medicine, sociology and politics Government Library Reference

Causes and Control of Colorectal Cancer: A Model for Cancer Prevention
Hardcover. No jacket. Ex-library. Foreword by Ernst L. Wynder and Bandaru S. Reddy. Library stickers on front board, spine and FEP; library stamp on title page; text tight and bright. Erratum booklet taped in between pages 46 and 47. This monograph takes a global, multidisciplinary approach to the causes, carcinogenesis and control of colorectal cancer. Over 1000 key studies were analyzed on colorectal cancer cause, carcinogenesis, primary prevention, early detection using modern screening techniques, and surveillance after tumour excision. The key chapters include those on morphology, molecular biology and evolution of tumours. Etiology chapters cover heredity, diet, alcohol, smoking, physical activity, life stress and others, while major chapters in the area of colorectal cancer control are on primary prevention, early detection by screening and surveillance, and post-tumour excision surveillance. Important recommendations on primary prevention, screening and surveillance of colorectal tumours are made in keeping with the most current research data. The work suggests colorectal cancer to be the first cancer in which control will be largely achieved within the next generation, as a result of the unprecedented multidisciplinary research into causation, primary prevention, screening and surveillance over the past 30 years. The book also serves as a model for the control of other common malignancies, particularly cancers of the breast and prostate, the causes and prevention of which are less well understood Used
