The role of the community health education specialist in the delivery of health care.
This paper seeks to define a "model" role for a community health education specialist having due regard to the dictates of professionalism and to the potential of education and the behavioural sciences for increasing effectiveness in the delivery of health care. It subsequently examines the "goodness of fit" between existing health education services and the "model" role by matching this latter with data from a postal survey of 152 health education officers collected just prior to the reorganisation of the NHS in April 1974.
