Understanding Health and Social Care by Margaret Allott

Cutting across the division between health care and social care, the book links policy to practice, juxtaposing the voices of a range of careers and service users wih insights from academic debate and research. Published as a set book for the Open University course: Health and Social Care (K100).

`[This book] attempts to address an area often under-represented in the literature and to "connect the day to day experience of caring and being cared for, with new ideas and ways of thinking about health and social careTo this end, it sets out to bring together the voices of services users with reflections from academic research and debate; and to link policy to practice and theory to experience in a tangible way′ - Community Care
