Taylor & Francis Ltd Pioneers in Public Health
Book SynopsisThe public health movement involved numerous individuals who made the case for change and put new practices into place. However despite a growing interest in how we understand history to inform current evidence-based practice, there is no book focusing on our progressive pioneers in public health and environmental health. This book seeks to fill that gap. It examines carefully selected public and environmental health pioneers who made a real difference to the UKâs health, some with international influence. Many of these pioneers were criticised in their life-times, yet they had the strength of character to know what they were doing was fundamentally right and persevered, often against many odds. Including chapters on: Thomas Fresh John Snow Duncan of Liverpool Margaret McMillan George Cadbury Christopher Addison Margery Spring Rice and others. This book will help readers place pioneers in a wider context and to make more sense of their academic and practitioner work today; how evidence (and what was historically understood by it) underpins modern day practice; and how these visionary pioneers developed their ideas into practice, some not fully appreciated until after their own deaths. Pioneers in Public Health sets the tone for a renewed focus on research into evidence-based public and environmental health, which has become subject of growing international interest in recent years. Trade Review'[a] timely and inspiring book' Environmental Health News"The authors of the 12 contributions to this readable book were asked to write about a pioneer for whom they had great regard, with an overall theme of examining how history informs current evidence-based policy. The result is an overdue focus on the important role environmental health plays in shaping modern themes in the UK and elsewhere, as well as giving insight into the profound effects on beliefs and actions that arise from the era, values and attitudes into which we are born … (Chadwick’s) well documented work is dealt with in Stewart’s excellent introduction, while the chapters cover lesser known pioneers... Even if you know about some or all of these pioneers, you will find new insights and fascinating facts about their lives and works. Stewart’s conclusion to these inspiring accounts is that the battles for public health resonates with our contemporary activities and that some supposedly ‘old fashioned’ views are more progressive, radical and forward thinking than those held by many who are in a position to do something about public health today’. This is a great book not only for students and new professionals but also for environmental health and public health practitioners. It will be invaluable for teaching. Stewart cites the historian Virginia Berridge’s observation that ‘history needs to be part of the process of evidence-based policy’. This book will convince you of this view and may help to develop the next generation of reformers and policy makers."

These challenges may arise from a lack of specific expertise in this area, poor training in the relevant skills and, perhaps, the attitude that there is not much that the primary care practitioner can do to help.This new book focuses on enhancing the repertoire of communication skills available for mental health consultation, providing a range of tools and techniques drawn from accepted models, including cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), transactional analysis (TA), motivational interviewing and acceptance commitment therapy (ACT), illustrating how to apply these within a typical 10- to 12-minute primary care consultation.Key features:enhances the repertoire of communication and cons

Taylor & Francis Value Management in Healthcare
Book SynopsisOur current healthcare system is broken. The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) predicts healthcare costs could increase from 6% to 14% of GDP by 2060. The cause of this increase is due to (1) a global aging population, (2) growing affluence, (3) rise in chronic diseases, and (4) better-informed patients, all of which raises the demand for healthcare. In 2006, Michael Porter and Elizabeth Teisberg authored the book Redefining Health Care: Creating Value-Based Competition on Results. In it, they present their analysis of the root causes plaguing the healthcare industry and make the case for why providers, suppliers, consumers, and employers should move toward a patient-centric approach that optimizes value for patients. According to Porter, value for patients should be the overarching principle for our broken system. Given the current state of global healthcare, there is urgency to achieve widespread adoption of this new approach. The updated second edition of this book discusses two major issues driving the importance of value-based care. The first is the emergence of artificial intelligence, which has the potential to significantly impact and enhance value-based healthcare in several ways such as delivering personalized medicine, predictive analytics for patient outcomes, and improving population health management. The second issue is why value-based care continues to struggle in scaling. While value-based healthcare has shown promise in improving patient outcomes and controlling costs, there have been challenges in implementation such as transitioning from the traditional fee-for-service model, data interoperability issues, and limited standardization of health outcomes. These challenges do not necessarily mean that value-based healthcare has failed. Instead, they highlight the complexities of the work involved and the need to follow a process as provided in this book. The intent of this book is to equip all healthcare delivery organizations with a guide for putting the value-based concept into practice. With updated material and case studies, this book defines the practice of value-based healthcare as value management. The book explores Mr. Porterâs value equation (Value = Costs/Outcomes), which is central to value management, and provides a step-by-step process for how to calculate the components of this equation. On the outcomes side, the book presents the value realization framework, which translates organizational mission and strategy into a comprehensive set of performance measures and contextualizes the measures for healthcare delivery.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Microneedling in Clinical Practice
Book SynopsisMicroneedles provide an artificial pathway across the skin barrier for medical and cosmetic applications. This technology has seen a significant increase in popularity over the past years; as an example, the use of multiple small needles mounted on a roller to pierce the skin, prompting it to stimulate collagen production, has undergone a resurgence of interest as an adjunctive procedure for a number of skin disorders. This monograph draws together what is known about how to integrate microneedle technology into clinical dermatologic practice.Table of ContentsList of Contributors. 1.Microneedles and Trandermal Transport. 2.Skin perforation and solid microneedles. 3.Dissolvable and Coated Microneedle Arrays: Design, Fabrication, Materials, and Administration Methods. 4.Hollow Microneedles. 5.Microneedles vs other transdermal technologies. 6.Combination of Microneedles with other methods. 7.Medical Applications of Microneedles. 8.Therapeutic drug and biomolecule monitoring potential for microneedle technologies. 9.Commercialized Microneedles. 10.Considerations for Clinical Trials Involving Microneedle Devices. 11.Cosmetic Applications. 12.Dermatotoxicology of Microneedles in Man.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Collaborating for Health
Book SynopsisHealth care is increasingly under pressure. Budget crises are making collaboration and smart thinking essential, while increasing numbers of people with multiple long-term conditions make specialist models of health care increasingly inefficient patients too often go from one specialist to another, duplicating effort and paying too little attention to the bigger picture of their health. Collaborating for Health outlines a solution: community-oriented integrated care and health promotion. Designed to prevent the problems of fragmented care, this approach focuses on building teams, networks and communities for health and care at local level, where it is easier to see the range of factors that affect people's health. With the emphasis on partnership-working between primary care, public health and others, it allows clusters of general practices to share the work of integrating efforts for care and health improvement, and for non-medical organisations to lead parallelTrade Review'This is a powerful book and an important contribution to the literature on integrated care. Its timing is impeccable, coming as it does with the publication of the NHS Sustainability and Transformation Plans (STPs) which are aimed at creating accountable care systems for integrated care and in which system leadership is critical – the raison d’etre for this book in my view. As someone closely involved in STPs, I have found this book immensely helpful. It is essential reading for anyone involved in STPs, particularly in creating primary and community integrated care services at scale. As a minimum, Thomas’ three tier model of long-term conditions management is a winner and should be adopted widely and quickly to improve outcomes and deliver better value. The book not only provides the evidence base for change but also practical support, for example "live manuals" and comprehensive skills checklists. I like the suggestions of ‘seasons of learning and change’ and his model of connectedness (as the link, glue and cell) is memorable. To cap it all the book is littered with enjoyable references to the arts and literature with quotes from Shakespeare, Kipling and others.' – Professor Mayur Lakhani, CBE; RCGP President and GP; Chair of West Leicestershire Clinical Commissioning Group; past Chair of the Royal College of GPs and The National Council for Palliative Care'This is an interesting, important and relevant book that will be a valuable resource for all leaders and change agents trying to change, improve and integrate primary care services and to do so in a system based way. It obviously addresses a key health policy agenda. The text combines expositions of useful organizational concepts, mini cases, practical exercises, references to further sources and visualisations in an attractive and accessible mix. It should be a key reference point for all those seeking to promote community orientated and more integrated primary care.' – Professor Ewan Ferlie, King’s College London, UK'This book and its author, Paul Thomas, are conceptual, practical and wise guides to the health care organizational change we all want. Using stories that make sense and ideas that challenge we are led on both revolutionary flights of inspiring imagination and into grounded lived experiences. The book convinces us that healthy systems are possible and necessary in these challenging times. Paul himself, his journal and inspiring colleagues have been guides for me as I struggle to integrate primary care and public health in community settings. The book is intergenerative as we reach between disciplines and professions to go beyond to a better, more healthy future.' – Professor Peter Whitehouse, Case Western Reserve University, USA and University of Toronto, Canada; Strategic Advisor in Innovation Baycrest Health Center; President, Intergenerational Schools International'If you are looking for a definitive text that will afford both the supporting theory and the practical tools to make brilliant care happen for brilliant people then this is it. People live in communities; they thrive in communities and yet when we talk about health and social care systems we tend to make only paltry reference to the most critical of operating systems – the social economy of families and neighbourhoods. Within these neighbourhoods, co-existing alongside people in their homes, are our primary care colleagues. Has there ever been a better time to utilise and build on the strength and the continuity of relationships that primary care offers? Make great use of this book and draw on the wisdom that it reminds us that we hold. Let us organise our worlds differently and collaborate generously for better health for everyone.' – Siobhan Clarke, Managing Director of Your Healthcare CIC'If, like me, you are frustrated that R&D usually focuses solely on research and you wish to focus on development – this book is for you (although in the spirit of this book they should be as one). If you value trusted relationships in shared care and collaborative health promotion at local, community level – this book is for you. If you wish to be guided by an experienced, highly intelligent and intellectual General Medical Practitioner who is an expert in facilitation and community development and yet, in my personal knowledge of him, does not "lose the common touch" – this author is for you.' – Professor David Colin-Thomé, Manchester Business School, UK, and GP; former National Clinical Director for Primary Care; Medical Adviser for Commissioning and System Reform 'The NHS is facing a massive challenge with increased demand, an ageing population and advances in science and technology. Primary care has always been the jewel in the crown of the NHS and its expansion and development is seen now by government and policy makers as the way to resolve the challenge. Analysis shows it need to expand its offering by a third as described in the NHS England "Five Year Forward View". We need to shift care into the community and support patients to manage their health and wellbeing. Social prescribing in general practice will be one of the key projects along with integrated care. Why is this important for patients? Just one example relates to end of life care, where typically 60% of patients die in hospital and yet nearly all would prefer to die at home surrounded by their loved ones. Supporting patients at home would be a far more compassionate service for patients, deliver great primary care and deliver much better value for money. This book shows us how we can deliver this change with practical examples. It is essential reading for anyone passionate about primary care and the NHS.' – Professor Sir Sam Everington, OBE; GP and Barrister'In the Western world the traditional model of primary care is broken. The foundations for our health services, of demand being curtailed by cure was false. Communities and services need to forge new relationships that are more about "co" than about expert and recipient, to support people to better health and to better use our health service resources. Bringing the talent, insight, research of health service professionals, together with the assets of communities in a collaboration will take a real focus on relationships, and on being adaptable together. This book charts the complex change required from the list-based GP to a population-based health model. It provides a wealth of tools for inquiry and change that support the transition. Start anywhere in the book and go everywhere.' – Professor Rebecca Malby, London South Bank University, UK 'I was struck when I started this innovative book by how applicable it was to my field – education. It quickly became clear, though, that this is precisely the point that is so lucidly made: it is very apparent that we are all part of the same unfurling narrative: this study shows that it is not so much that it’s all about inter-connectivity – there is actually nothing but inter-connectivity. This has important implications for how we set about devising and delivering the school curriculum.' – Paul Stubbings, Headmaster of Cardinal Vaughan Memorial School, UK'Paul is and has always been a passionate advocate for innovation and quality improvement in primary care. A decade and a half ago he was articulating coherently his vision of health care [primary, community and secondary], mental health care and social care professionals working closely and focusing on the delivery of care on populations of 100,000 patients; he referred to this as Local Health Communities. The aspiration was an integrated patient-centred care model with a clear focus on improved communication and team working. This was a very avant garde concept at the time but is now the basis on the NAPC Primary Care Home model and the Multi speciality Care Provider model described in the NHS Five Year Forward View. The fact that the Local Health Community vision is now being realised is a testament to Paul's radical ideas being understood and implemented many years later.' – Professor Raj Chandok, Buckinghamshire New University, UK and GP; Vice Chair, NHS Ealing Clinical Commissioning Group'Thought-provoking! An enjoyable read for professionals through to commissioners and policy makers. Thomas’s book is a major contribution to healthcare and inspires transformational change, especially for care for people with Advanced Serious Illness and End of Life needs. Perfect for GPs and clinicians in primary care, the book provides insight and practical advice on a community-oriented integrated care approach. Using interesting case studies, evidence and reflection exercises throughout, it manages to bring to life strategies and drivers, not merely for the treatment of diseases but to enable local society collaboration for whole population health. Thomas illuminates how dynamic inquiry can be used to enable real-time strategic change. Crucially, the book engages how learning communities can embrace openness in order for learning and change to be the cultural norm. Leaders will not regret experiencing their own adventure when reading his methods to balance their own inner peace when confidence or control of their vision is threatened! In summary, a glorious banquet to feast your eyes and open your minds.' – Catherine Millington-Sanders, RCGP/Marie Curie National Clinical End of Life Care ChampionTable of ContentsIntroductionPart I.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Handbook of Refugee Health
Book SynopsisThis book helps to recognize the rights of refugees and provides a framework to identify and approach health needs, from basic elements like service mapping and initial interventions to more complex elements of ongoing healthcare and support and broader topics such as migration public health, migration policy and health systems. Beyond biomedical frameworks, it draws on socio-ecological models to inform assessments and integrated models of care to improve health and health equity. Set out in three comprehensive sections: public health theory (Part 1), applied public health (Part 2), and clinical approaches (Part 3), this book draws on multiple disciplines and insights from humanitarians, academics, policy experts, and clinicians from diverse contexts, with expertise in forced migration, to create an accessible reference tool to inform healthcare professionals' interactions with forcibly displaced individuals and populations in all contexts for both high and low resource countries.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Gynaecology in Primary Care: A Practical Guide
Book SynopsisGynaecology in Primary Care comes at a time of great change in health service delivery. General practice is facing the challenges of developing Clinical Commissioning Groups, providing an ever greater range of primary care services and implementing NICE guidelines, whilst CCGs through their members will be under a legal duty to innovate. From a provider perspective, the book equips general practitioners with up-to-date knowledge of common gynaecological conditions, suggestions of best practice with regard to management and investigations to be undertaken within primary care, and guidelines for onward referral, where this is appropriate and necessary. From a commissioning perspective it provides an invaluable resource to CCGs, to inform their future pathways for gynaecology care. This highly practical book delivers the main aim of the RCP report - to ensure best care for female patients in the setting of their choice and where possible to develop streamlined one-stop services in primary care so that women do not have to take time off from their work and family commitments. It is ideal for general practitioners needing to be inspired and informed, and is also highly recommended for other healthcare professionals and medical students with an interest in women's health. 'Optimal patient care requires many connected features to synchronise effectively. This book describes how this could be achieved by focusing attention on well-crafted, evidencebased clinical pathways. This book advances our thinking on how we connect clinical, system and patient level perspectives on optimal care management.' Denis Gizzi, in his Foreword 'Written by a highly regarded, experienced and practicing GP, who has taken on the role as Clinical Director on behalf of the CCG for this programme area, this book is a valuable asset for both practicing GPs and developing CCGs to ensure that gynaecology services effectively commission, maximise the health of the population, improve the experience of the patient, and improve value for money.' Kath Wynne-Jones, in her Foreword 'An excellent guide to the management of gynaecological problems in primary care for not only clinicians in training, but for more experienced clinicians who look for straightforward and easily accessible advice to support their clinical management decisions.
