This introductory Reader provides a uniquely wide-ranging collection of key readings in the field of health and social care.
The book features classic readings alongside articles reflecting the most recent theoretical and empirical work. Cutting across the conventional divide between health care and social care, the Reader sets out to link policy to practice in a tangible way, juxtaposing the voices of a range of carers and service users with insights from academic debate and research.
The Reader is divided into five sections, focusing on:
the experience of caring or being cared for the environment in which care takes place the ways in which care has been conceptualized
issues of abuse in care settings
the political context of care
Although the Reader is intended primarily as a resource, to be dipped into and used for reference, it can be read section by section, and the section introductions serve as a guide to the reader who wishes to do this.
Understanding Health and Social Care will be essential reading for students of social work, nursing, health and social policy, and for the caring professions across the health and social service sectors. It is the course reader for The Open University's level one undergraduate course in health and social care (K100).
The book contains black-and-white illustrations.
