A Health Promotion Tool for Health Professionals - Health for All

A Health Promotion Tool for Health Professionals - Health for All

This is a clinical tool for health promotion in Primary Health Care. It is designed specifically for use during consultation between the health care professional (eg nurse or doctor) and the person* who comes for health care. The increase in chronic conditions (communicable and non-communicable diseases, and mental health) needs to be actively addressed in order to promote good health and prevent disease in the population. This tool helps to identify risk factors that threaten good health or worsen existing conditions. It will assist doctors and nurses in primary health care to recognise risks and make patients aware of these risks. By offering ways to reduce risks, it will aid patients to reduce the effect of risk behaviour before disease develops and those patients who have existing conditions to prevent further complications.
