The New Sociology of the Health Service by Jonathan Gabe

The New Sociology of the Health Service by Jonathan Gabe

The New Sociology of the Health Service provides a vital new sociological framework for analysing health policy and health care, covering a broad range of key contemporary health services issues. It will be an important read for all students and researchers of medical sociology and health policy.

'This impressive book provides a valuable commentary on key topics in the contemporary sociology of health careStudents of health care sociology and health policy will find it an accessible and useful text.' - Professor Rob Baggott, De Montfort University, UK

‘In this hugely welcome second edition, leading sociologists offer far-reaching insights into the often contested changes in UK health policy over the past decade. A sociological perspective on contemporary policy developments, notably the growing managerialisation and marketisation of health care, the impact of consumerism on health and social care, and the growing health gap between social groups, has been sorely missing. This excellent collection of essays is therefore timely and essential reading by students of health policy.’ - David J. Hunter, Professor of Health Policy and Management, Wolfson Research Institute, Durham University, UK
