Health Promotion and Health Services: Management for Change provides an innovative new framework for reorientating health services to become more health promoting.

Pressure on health services to become more responsive to the health needs of the broader population has led to greater demand for effective change management within the health sector. The authors integrate health promotion and change management theory into a framework designed to reorient health servcices to become more health promoting, and then link this knowledge to practical tools to effect change.
