| book description |
This concise, accessible textbook is the essential guide for students and practitioners seeking a comprehensive grounding in health and social care. Written by a leading academic in the field, it bridges policy, practice and research to provide a clear understanding of the systems, structures and values underpinning care in the UK. Fully revised to reflect the latest developments – from the ongoing effects of austerity and the COVID-19 pandemic to the introduction of Integrated Care Systems and early policies of the Labour government – this edition also examines emerging service models and evolving definitions of ‘good care’. Engaging and practical, the book is designed to support learning through: • real-world case studies and reflective activities that bring theory to life; • clear explanations of key concepts, helping readers navigate complex policy and practice issues; and • coverage of cross-cutting themes, including partnership working and integrated care, disability and long-term conditions, discrimination, user involvement and support for carers. An indispensable resource for anyone working or training in health and social care, this book will help readers apply complex theories with confidence.
