Description

The foundations of health and wellbeing are laid down in pregnancy and the early years.

Health for all Children takes a life course approach to child health, starting in pregnancy and extending to the age of seven to include transition into school, and to cover the foundation years in education.

This new edition summarizes the evidence supporting preventive health care and health promotion; providing an effective, community-based response to the needs of families and children.

Each chapter summarizes evidence of effectiveness in the topic area, in health promotion, and in universal and selective interventions.

The fifth edition starts in pregnancy and runs until age seven taking into account Government policies and different models of delivery of the child health programme.

Evidence from all over the world is critically appraised and referenced to UK policy and practice.

Health for all Children summarizes the evidence about 'why' and 'what works' in health promotion and health surveillance with children and families, providing guidance on how to implement and quality assure a programme, and the competencies needed.

Each chapter includes 'learning links' to online training materials and e-learning for health, or to resources freely available to practitioners. This established, evidence-based book continues to be essential reading for all health professionals who work with children.

It will also provide vital background knowledge for those charged with the responsibility of planning, commissioning, and monitoring child health.
