Recenzii

Offers complete coverage of all the elements of a Health and Social Care programme and more. It is a comprehensive guide that is both informative and interesting; recommended for students and practitioners in the ever-changing field of Health and Social Care.
This is a comprehensive, insightful and timely textbook that offers health and social care students and professionals an accessible approach to theory, legislation, and practice.   
Combining a multi-disciplinary approach to health and social care, this text book will help students link theory with practice in a highly effective way. Providing insights into the diversity of health and social care, alongside broader social influences upon health and wellbeing.
This book gives a great introduction to the many aspects of health and social care that students will want to be aware of and up to date with.
Whilst studying for my nursing degree, this book has provided me with a wealth of knowledge. In particular, around the different socio-economic impacts and determinants of health in relation to patient wellbeing. This information has proved vital in helping me structure my field-specific nursing assignments relating to public health, as well as also providing me with a plan of how to structure any research-based assignments/arguments.
I particularly enjoyed the activities throughout the book as they made me question things that I don’t usually think about, such as theories in psychology. The activities also provided me with some much-needed time to think about more generic subjects, such as the ‘world we live in’. It provided me with the opportunity to think outside the box.  Overall, a very enjoyable read.


As a student who has dyslexia, I found this book to be particularly helpful in developing my academic skills. As a result of reading the textbook, the overall structure and clarity of my assignments improved. The book is comprehensive and covers many aspects of health and social care that students will find beneficial for their studies. The interactive text and case studies enabled me to link theory to practice and the activities throughout made for an enjoyable and valuable read. I would highly recommend this textbook to students, at any stage of their studies, to support them throughout their degree. I wish I had this book sooner!

What a fabulous publication! Very comprehensive and informative. The authors efficiently combined the most recent findings with a historical perspective highlighting the healthcare system's changeable nature, its origins and consequences for all stakeholders. Each chapter, written by an expert in a field, covers important for nurses and healthcare delivery issues ending with extending the topic reading list relevant for furthering the knowledge. As a third-year nursing student, I have found this book very helpful. It provided interesting discourse for all my assignments and enhanced my understanding of the healthcare system's multifaceted nature. It is written in a sophisticated but accessible manner, even for a reader whose English is not a dominant language - a pleasure to read.
