Green and Tones' Health Promotion 5e
Ruth Cross, James Woodall
"A brilliant update to a staple favourite on my book shelves. This text book provides information on a range of topics that are easily accessed and understood. Embedding the core functions of health promotion in to our teaching and practice helps to tackle health inequalities across the board. I use this book to aid my teaching and also when writing papers myself. Great quality and trusted information from established professionals in their field."

Improving Quality in Healthcare
Murray Anderson-Wallace, Nick Downham
"Do not be deceived by the modest cover and title, this book is overflowing with original ideas highly relevant to current primary and secondary care. The authors take you on a journey from what has happened so far to develop and improve care, to a compelling vision for the future. I’ve been working as Primary Care network Clinical Director for 5 years now, and have been a GP partner for 19 years. This book absolutely resonates with the direction I think we need to go."

Health Promotion and Health Education in Nursing
Ruth Cross
Health promotion is a core nursing topic and for the past decade, as a nurse, you will be spending more time and energy in the community, doing preventative work and helping to rebalance services away from hospitals. You are expected to ‘Make Every Contact Count’ and look for opportunities to encourage healthier behaviours and lifestyles each time you engage with an individual. The recent Coronavirus epidemic has brought public health and health promotion activities even more sharply into the spotlight and this has made a huge impact on the work you do.
Quality Improvement in Healthcare
