Five Elements of Primary Health Care ©2010 Primary Health Care is comprehensive and complex. To provide clarity about this concept and the factors that support its delivery, Barefoot Facilitation and Development has created a framework called the Five Elements of Primary Health Care. The Five Elements of Primary Health Care consists of two tools:

Personality Dimensions® is based on leading-edge research in human motivation and behavior. It helps to explain the behaviour and temperament of different personalities and contributes to building self-awareness, self-esteem, and effective communication strategies.

The Thomas-Kilmann Conflict Mode Instrument (TKI) is the world’s best-selling instrument for understanding how different conflict-handling styles affect interpersonal and group dynamics and for learning how to select the most appropriate style for a given situation. The easy-to-use, self-scoring tool is fast and powerful. You select responses from 30 statement pairs to discover which conflict handling style is your preferred "mode”. Interpretation and feedback materials help you learn about the most appropriate uses for each mode and how to increase your comfort level with your less-used modes. The five styles are:
Used as a stand-alone tool by individuals, in a group learning process, or as a part of a structured workshop, the TKI is useful in conflict resolution, enhancing communication, performance improvement, stress management, and team building.
The Visual-Auditory-Kinesthetic (VAK) learning styles inventory provides a simple way to assess and understand your own learning style (and the learning styles of others). Interpretation helps you to apply individual learning styles when creating experiences that match people's preferences – in learning and work environments.
