Understanding Health and Social Care by Julia Johnson
The new edition of the best-selling reader Understanding Health and Social Care (previously edited by Maragraet Allot and Martin Robb) combines classic works with newly-commissioned material, offering readers unparalleled coverage of the key issues in health and social care. The breadth of material encompasses voices of service users, professional and lay carers, as well as academics and researchers. This Second Edition is organised into four new sections, each with a part introduction pulling together the main themes: - People focuses on those who use and provide health and social care services. - Places looks at where care is given - Approaches considers different ways through which care takes places - Ideas focuses on the ideas and policies that underpin care provision Full of real practice scenarios and examples, the book successfully makes the links between theory and practice, and will be an essential resource for all students studying at undergraduate level across the wide spectrum of health and social care.Julia Johnson splits her time between Dubai and Worcestershire, UK, where she owns an historic water mill. Julia and her architect husband Brian moved to Dubai in 1975, where she quickly became a recognizable figure reading children's stories on Dubai Channel 33, and later appeared in BBC Television and Radio programs in the United Kingdom. She has performed in various stage plays and recorded over 100 audio books while touring schools in the United Arab Emirates and the United Kingdom in Theatre-in-Education performances. She has been writing children's stories since 2001. The Hamilton Trust, an online resource provider for schools, recommends The Pearl Diver.
In America, The Leopard Boy received a Kirkus star, and former UK Children's Book Laureate and award-winning author Michael Morpurgo endorsed it. During the Sharjah International Book Festival in 2014, The Turtle Secret won the Best International Children's Book Award. Julia enjoys writing stories about the rich and colorful legacy of the Arabian Gulf and Oman, and she gives speeches and workshops throughout the region. She frequently speaks at the Emirates Airline Festival of Books and visits schools in the United Kingdom.
