Key Themes in Health and Social Care by Adam Barnard

Key Themes in Health and Social Care by Adam Barnard

This book is a learning resource for students in health and social care. It provides an overview of foundational issues and core themes in the field and introduces key areas of debate, moving from an introductory level to in-depth discussion as the book progresses.

'We can all expect health and social care to gain greater importance in our lives as the times we live in become less certain and more complexThose working in these fields can expect greater challenges and demands to be placed on them. They will need many forms of help to enhance their learning and develop their critical capacity to convert that into positive practice. This will come from many sources: fellow learners, teachers, experienced practitioners and service users. But I think there will also be a place for books like this. It will be one of the friends that offers learners more than a little help to get by, supporting them to move from learning to doing, challenging unhelpful boundaries and questionable assumptions and equipping them to develop their own experiential wisdom.' - Peter Beresford, Brunel University, UK

'This book provides a comprehensive picture of different areas of health and social care policy and intervention. Clear and well researched, with many suggestions for further reading, it will be useful to students and practitioners across a range of health and social care professions. I thoroughly recommend this publication because it provides an up to date exploration of dynamic complexities relevant to fast changing public sector services.' - Patricia Higham, Nottingham Trent University, University of Northampton, UK; and independent consultant.
