Health investigation and treatment have moved from a
clinician-centred approach to a patient-centred approach during the
past few decades. Patients are now rightly regarded as empowered
and informed users of health services, not passive recipients.
Motivated by this philosophical shift, this new book identifies the
key issues underpinning the complete delivery of 'good' patient
care and considers their application in the medical radiation
sciences. Taking a UK/European perspective, the authors examine how
a holistic approach is related to legislation, human rights and
perceived patient needs. Medical imaging and radiotherapy are front
line services experienced by vast numbers of patients with acute
and chronic medical conditions, including trauma and cancer. The
book includes coverage of behavioural science and health psychology
together with practical applications such as safe manual handling,
infection control and radiation safety. This provides the reader
with a comprehensive understanding of what contributes to the
patient's experience in diagnostic imaging and radiotherapy. It
also considers other aspects of the patient experience, such as
inter-professional team working, disability, communication,
clinical procedures and practice. Identifies the key issues
underpinning the complete delivery of 'good' patient care and
considers their application in the medical radiation sciences.
Takes a UK/European perspective. Covers behavioural science and
health psychology together with practical applications such as safe
manual handling, infection control and radiation safety. Considers
all aspects of the patient experience, including communication,
clinical procedures and practice.
