Is evidence-based practice really best practice? This is a hotly
debated question in health and social care circles and the starting
point for this book. Engaging firmly in the debate, Values-Based
Health & Social Care calls into question the dominance of
evidence-based practice and sets out an alternative vision of care
which places holism, professional judgement, intuition and client
choice at its centre. Bringing together writers from a range of
health and social care backgrounds, the book describes the rise of
evidence-based practice and explores major criticisms of the
approach. It argues that evidence should be seen as part of a
broader vision of practice which places equal value on: - a
holistic vision of the needs of patients and clients. -
professional knowledge and intuition, and - seeing patients and
clients as partners in their care. Examples are used throughout the
book to help readers link the concepts to practice. The book
concludes with suggestions on how to develop a values-based
approach in practice and through professional education.
Values-Based Health & Social Care sets out key debates
surrounding the nature of practice which will be of interest to
students and practitioners alike.
