About the Book

Community participation is at the heart of primary health care. Primary care providers need to understand and be involved with the wide variety of communities they serve. This book will assist primary health organisation boards, staff, member organisations and communities to review their levels of participation and their progress over time.

It is intended to be of practical use to people at all levels of the health sector. It has a distinctly New Zealand flavour, while taking overseas experience into account, and offers both inspiration and analytical capacity for primary health organisations.
