Primary Health Care Research & Development is aimed specifically at both researchers and practitioners in primary health care, bridging the gap between the two areas. It provides a forum for the publication of international, interdisciplinary research and development in primary health care. It is essential reading for all involved in primary care: nurse practitioners, GPs and health service managers; professional and local groups in community health; researchers and academics; purchasers of primary health care services; allied health practitioners in secondary services and health-related consumer groups.
