`A particular strength of the book is its orientation to the views
of service users, carers and user movements... the chapers are all
well written, well referenced and consistent in style. As an
academic text, it is easy to read. It will undoubtedly be of value
as a reference for students of the health and social care
professions' - British Journal of Occupational Therapy `The
stand-alone but integrated structure allows the reader to dip in
and cross-reference with ease. I immediately found the text
accessible using this approach. Aimed at a wide audience, the tempo
of the work is that of a phoenix rising from the ashes, seeking a
new, `more negotiated order' for the practitioner. The task is set
out in a clear and comprehensive manner...[T]his is OU material at
its best and I am reminded of its influence on my practice over the
time of its (the OU's) existence. I hope this volume will be
attractive to practitioners across the board as it is a rare
example of defensible practice' - Nursing Ethics `The authors have
provided a comprehensive and timely text given the wide ranging
subject matter and the climate of ongoing change within health and
social care services. ...This book should prove to be a useful tool
to enable professionals to develop critical practice, which is not
defensive, but defensible' - Physiotherapy This major new textbook
will take a fresh look at professions and professionalism - what
these terms mean and what they need to mean in the future in the
health and social care field. Written by experienced teachers, the
textbook: reviews the evidence on team and inter-professional
working, teasing out the new perspectives and the skills required;
examines what professional development entails and what it means in
different fields of practice; tackles ethical dilemmas of practice
alongside changing concepts in society of accountability; explores
current debates about how professionals can be supported in their
practice and how their performance is best regulated; and
highlights the contribution that practitioners can make - alongside
others - to policy development at local level. Critical Practice in
Health and Social Care will be essential reading for students and
practitioners in social work, nursing and health studies, and for
those involved across the caring professions within the health and
social sercice sector. This is a course text for the Open
University course K302 Critical Practice in Health and Social Care.
