Health care is constantly undergoing change and refinement resulting from the adoption of new practices and technologies the changing nature of societies and populations and also shifts in the very places from which care is delivered. Primary Health Care: People Practice Place draws together significant contributions from established experts across a variety of disciplines to focus on such changes in primary health care not only because it is the most basic and integral form of health service delivery but also because it is an area to which geographers have made significant contributions and to which other scholars have engaged in 'thinking geographically' about its core concepts and issues. Including perspectives from both consumers and producers it moves beyond geographical accounts of the context of health service provision through its explicit focus on the practice of primary health care. With arguments well-supported by empirical research this book will appeal not only to scholars across a range of social and health sciences but also to professionals involved in health services.
