How do we learn from service user perspectives? What practical
skills and approaches are needed to make care truly person-centred?
Written by practitioners, academics and, more importantly, the
people who use health services, this unique text examines the
application of person-centred principles across a range of
healthcare contexts. It will provide you with the essential skills,
techniques and strategies needed to deliver person-centred care.
Patient and service users should be at the heart of healthcare
delivery, and this book will equip nurses and midwives by
connecting the reader to the lived experience of those receiving
healthcare. It examines issues across the lifespan and reveals how
person-centred care can best be achieved by working in partnership.
After introducing key principles and service design in chapters 1
and 2, each chapter that follows tackles a different age or disease
specific area of care, including: * Maternity care * Family care
including health visiting * Adolescent care * Adult critical care *
Diseases including diabetes and arthritis * Care for people with
long term mental health problems * Intellectual disabilities * Care
of carers Putting people at the heart of healthcare is essential to
effective practice, and this book interweaves real patient stories
into every chapter, bringing nursing and midwifery theory to life
and helping students and practitioners hone and develop their
skills. An essential buy for all nurses and midwives. "This book
offers an innovative, creative and fresh approach to understanding
the heart of patient centred care. Its partnership approach has
meant that the voices of national experts and patients are
represented, and together they share their expertise and experience
based insights, which has resulted in a text that illuminates the
evidence base for nurses, midwives and other health care
professionals. Never has there been a more significant time to
focus on patient centred care and this book makes a meaningful and
bold contribution to constructively expanding the concepts of
patient centred care and providing an applicable approach for
practitioners. This text helpfully covers the life span of
individuals from a range of care settings and as such offers a
unique and crisp approach. I would suggest that whether you are a
student nurse or an experienced practitioner, this book would
provide you with clear, informative and robust evidence to enhance
the care you provide. This is a must read for students, health care
professionals and academics - an excellent addition to the
knowledge base." Brian J Webster-Henderson, Professor of Nursing
and University Dean of Learning and Teaching, Edinburgh Napier
University, UK "Evident throughout the book is the collaboration of
its contributors, providing a real sense of compassion in care. The
service users' 'voice' positively speaks to the reader and together
with other contributors inspires a practice of care and compassion,
professionally as well as personally. It is easy to read and follow
and the activities encourage thinking and debate and reflective
practice. The opening chapter introduces person-centeredness well,
where its philosophy appears to be embedded within each chapter. It
reads as supportive and developmental for practitioners." Tracey
Harding, Lecturer and Programme Lead, Doctorate in Clinical
Practice, University of Southampton, UK "This excellent book offers
a number of things to the reader: the theory for person-centred
care; a structured approach to the development of that knowledge
across the lifespan; and, most importantly, people's experiences -
these jump off the page bringing life to the theory. For me, it was
the 'voices' that were gripping as I grappled with the issues (many
of which are challenging and from which the authors did not shy
away). Some of these were hard to read as I wished that the
healthcare professionals in those situations had taken the time to
really hear what the concerns were. The book is steeped in the
realities of practice and helps to make sense of the challenges -
and opportunities - that exist in healthcare practice as
person-centred care continues to go to the heart of practice." Ruth
Taylor, Pro Vice Chancellor and Dean, Faculty of Health, Social
Care and Education, Anglia Ruskin University, UK
