Towards the emancipation of patients: Patients' experiences and the patient movement

Autor Charlotte Williamson OBE
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 8 iun 2010
Despite a policy focus on involving patients in health care and increasing patient autonomy, much covert coercion of patients takes place in everyday healthcare. This book, by a leading patient activist, examines for the first time how the patient movement, which works to improve the quality of healthcare, can actually be considered an emancipation movement when led by its radical elements. In this highly original book the author argues that radical patient groups and individual activists who repeatedly challenge or oppose some standards in healthcare, can be seen as working in the direction of freeing patients from coercion and from its associated injustice and inequality. Combining new academic theory with rich empirical evidence, the book explains how looking at healthcare from an emancipatory perspective could improve its quality as patients experience it. It will appeal to health professionals, managers, patient activists, policy makers and others concerned with the quality of healthcare.

Recenzii

Charlotte Williamson is a radical, highly persuasive champion of patients’ interests. Here she describes the rise of the patient movement and with it the emancipation of patients themselves. Scholarly, empathetic and written in plain English, this definitive commentary on patient emancipation is a ‘must have’ for anyone interested in patients and their wellbeing. Sir Donald Irvine, Chairman of Picker Institute Europe and former President of the General Medical Council

The author is clearly very well informed and a practiced communicator. The book has a clear theoretical thrust and is well-illustrated from personal and researched experiences of the ‘patient movement'. Graham Scambler, Professor of Medical Sociology, Director, Centre for Sociological Theory and Research on Health, UCL Medical School

Dr Williamson......writes with the assurance and authority of someone with both academic and practical experience, and the book is tightly argued and clearly written. I found it stimulating. Dougal Jeffries in British Journal of General Practice

Charlotte Williamson is exceptionally well qualified to write about radical patients' movements. I hope her book will encourage patient groups to gain new confidence and authority, and healthcare policy makers, managers and practitioners to find new ways of working with patients to improve health services. Professor Priscilla Alderson, Institute of Education, University of London

The book is an in depth fountain of knowledge for anyone working in the medical sector, for patients themselves and for the people who can help improve the quality of healthcare.... Definitely a must read for anyone interested in the quality of healthcare. Laszlo Igali, Royal College of Pathologists Bulletin
