title: A health shop to meet public needs. A health visiting service in the market place.
abstract: People who have the greatest need for health information are often reluctant to seek it out. A 'health shop' was set up in a busy town market to help bring health education to the heart of the community. It resulted in an increased uptake of community services and helped boost the health visiting profile.
