This book brings together the vision, discoveries, research and experience of the Marylebone Health Centre and Marylebone Centre Trust, UK, renowned for their work in the primary health care setting and in the integrating of complementary therapies into general practice.

Through contributions from the Centre's team members, this collection of papers covers:

- the philosophical context of the Marylebone model, looking broadly at holistic medicine.

- related community issues from calculation of a practice underprivileged score to the relationship between pastoral care and primary health care.

- aspects of patient participation and self-care, especially in a general practice setting.

- key results of extending the range of potential clinical interventions, from acupuncture and massage to counselling and relaxation exercises.

- issues in research and methodology, particularly linked to general practice and alternative medical practices.

- factors in collaboration and conflict between team members involved in primary health care.

Each section has been edited and collated, with commentaries from Professor Patrick Pietroni introducing each chapter, to present unique insight into 5 years of the Centre's work and into the lessons which may be applied broadly to general practice in the future.

'Innovation in Community Care and Primary Health' is an invaluable source reference for all primary care team members, including general practitioners, nurses, midwives, physiotherapists, accupational therapists, community paediatricians and all complementary therapists.
