Report this review

Excellent easily readable book with links to essential skills clusters. Naturally flows from health to public health. Inclusion of behaviour change extremely useful for building practical skills.
Scenarios on sexual health would be useful. And including sexuality and transgender as community groups/variations in patients that need to be considered.
