This chapter begins by covering the UK health profile, then defines the key concepts in primary care and public health, and outlines the generic long-term conditions model. It provides a brief overview of the National Health Service, including differences in England, Northern Ireland, Scotland, and Wales. It covers current NHS entitlements for people from overseas, commissioning of services, and public health in a broader context. It also describes health needs assessment, and provides an overview of the services in primary care, the role of general practice, and other primary healthcare services. Further services, including those to prevent unplanned hospital admission, aid hospital discharge, those that support children and families, housing, social support, and care homes are all covered.

The Children Act (2004) places a responsibility on health practitioners to work together to help a child be healthy, stay safe, enjoy and achieve, make a positive contribution, and achieve economic well-being. This chapter covers the assessment of children, screening tests for vision and hearing, the immunization schedule, and accident prevention. It includes information for working with parents, providing support to new parents, and new birth visits. It then covers pre-term infants, new babies (including twins and multiple births), breast and bottle feeding, and weaning. Growth and development milestones are explained for different age ranges. The promotion of development, toilet training, good food habits, speech and language acquisition, and communication are all covered. The chapter also covers puberty and adolescence, health promotion in schools, sex and relationship education, and child and adolescent mental health. Separately, the care of children with complex health needs, disabilities, and special educational needs is described. Safeguarding children, identifying at-risk individuals, child protection processes, and the care of looked-after children are all included.

Multiple comorbidities necessitate care from a number of healthcare providers. Continuity of care is important for both patient satisfaction and quality of life. This chapter outlines primary care for adults with a variety of conditions, including osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, lower back pain, asthma and acute asthma, and stable and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. It covers drugs commonly used in the treatment of respiratory conditions, including long-term oxygen and nebulizers. It then goes on to cover coronary heart disease, angina, hypertension, cardiac rehabilitation, heart failure, abnormal cardiac rhythms and atrial fibrillation, patients on anticoagulant therapies, and drugs used in cardiovascular diseases. The chapter also includes information on anaemia, varicose veins, diabetes, multiple sclerosis, motor neurone disease, and Parkinson’s disease.

Health promotion aims to enable people to increase control over their health as well as cause an overall improvement. It includes individual, social, and environmental interventions. This chapter covers group health promotion, community approaches to health, and the role of the expert patient. It then covers areas in which health promotion can be highlighted in adults, including principles of good nutrition, obesity, malnutrition, home food safety, exercise, smoking cessation, managing stress, and alcohol advice. It outlines UK screening programmes, the menopause, healthy ageing, ways of preventing cancers (skin, bowel, breast, cervical, and testicular), travel health promotion (including vaccinations and a topic on malaria), different types of contraception, and pregnancy from preconception, antenatal care, maternity rights, common problems in pregnancy, birth options, and postnatal care.

The purpose of assessment at an individual level is to establish a baseline of the health and well-being of the person and create a mutually agree plan of care. This chapter explains an integrated assessment for adults, the core components of a case management programme, and consultation models and frameworks, alongside standardized assessment tools. The principles of good communication in patient assessment are outlined, as well as more detailed instructions for situations where the patient has additional needs (for example, deafness, where English is a second language, non-fluent English speakers, or those with learning difficulties). Assessment by remote consultation is covered, as well as motivational interviewing.
