Summary

Can health be improved? Can the quality of healthcare be delivered more effectively? Can doctors and other health professionals be better at their job and deliver higher quality of care? The answer to these three questions is "yes", and this book shows how using existing knowledge the enormous potential for health can be achieved. A key part of improving health, healthcare and the quality of life of patients and the country is to ensure that those concerned with delivering the services have high standards of education and training. Part of this book is therefore devoted to this topic, using medical education as an example.
