Ethics and Community in the Health Care Professions by Michael Parker

The concept of community is increasingly the focus of political argument in Britain, the United States and elsewhere around the world. The sense people have of belonging to communities provides a powerful motivation which continues to affect the political and social face of the world. Recently, debate about the relationship between individuals and their communities has become central to the making of both American and European social policy. In the United Kingdom this is especially apparent in the area of health care, where ideas of community have informed recent legislation concerning community care, community health trusts and the Children Act among others.
Michael Parker is Co-ordinator of a European Union research project on biomedical practitioners’ ethics education. He is the author of The Growth of Understanding (1995).
