""This is an accessible text that will be a useful source for
lecturers and students in the field of health studies. The material
is coherently organised into three main themes: the politics of
provision; setting priorities; and patients and professionals. I
was particularly impressed with way in which the authors draw on
theoretical insights and on the experiences of different heath care
systems in their analysis."
Professor Rob Baggott, Director of the Health Policy Research
Unit, De Montfort University, UK"
Who is responsible for the health of the nation? To what extent
should the state tackle health inequalities? Is prevention better
than cure?, "Key Debates in Healthcare" explores the answers to
these and many more topical questions in healthcare. The book
considers eight main debates in healthcare, ranging from the role
of the state in the provision of health care to the rights of
patients, and the responsibilities each of us have for our own
health.
The book also examines the different models of health and
healthcare delivery, and explores alternative methods of providing
healthcare, using the state, the private sector or the voluntary
sector. Through these debates the book will help readers explore
issues such as health inequalities, health promotion and service
delivery, and establish their own perspective on issues of health
and society.
Written as a core course book, the book includes: Theoretical
perspectives: to help you understand the logic and implications of
broad social and political arguments related to health Policy
developments: to show the practical application of ideas in
Britain, the United States and in other parts of the world
Perspectives of health professionals: to illustrate the impact of
healthcare debates on professional practice Healthcare scenarios:
to assist you to make connections between theory, policy and
practice "Key Debates in Healthcare" is key reading for all those
training and studying to become health professionals and looking
for a text to help them get to grips with the heart of healthcare
provision.
