Clinical Health Promotion – Research and best practice for patients, staff and community

- the official Journal for the International Network of Health Promoting Hospitals and Health Services

Aim

The overall aim of the journal is to support the work towards better health gain by integrating Health Promotion into the organisational structure and culture of the hospitals and health services. This is done by significant improvement of a worldwide publication of on clinical health promotion based on best evidence-based practice; including staff competences and patient preferences.

An international platform

Our wish is not just to create ‘another’ journal, but also to have a focused journal that provides a platform for a lively interaction between specialist and experts in the field. (E.g. with regular columns by individuals expressing personal thoughts on how our work/research is developing; interactive “how to treat” sessions; Task Force presentation etc.)

Hot topics will be addressed such as the place and future of new interventions and “forgotten” disorders.

The journal will be provided to the readers at no cost. Please, visit Archive to find the needed issue.
