book is aimed at students, but I am sure that it has an audience
beyond that - we all need help and encouragement to write. Full of
practical advice and examples, this book will help you to find a
writing strategy that works for you and to develop our own style.
Some simple but very effective ideas are used such as: making
writing a normal activity; just keeping going; and not necessarily
starting at the beginning." Roger Watson, Professor of Nursing,
University of Hull, UK"The focus of this book is on how to write
well. As I have argued previously, we all need to be reminded of
the skills required in order to make a difference to our patient,
clients and their carers' lives. Lifelong learning is the way that
we update our knowledge, skills and competencies. But in order to
do this effectively we need to have the right skill set. The
ability to write well is fundamental to our personal and
professional learning, and this is regardless of what stage we are
in our careers. Writing is a skill that we use every day, be it an
email to a friend or an assignment for a course. With practice we
can develop and refine this essential skill. I particularly like
the way the authors encourage us to be critical of our writing;
this is also something that we can offer to others as critical
friends." Sian E Maslin-Prothero, Professor of Nursing (Clinical),
School of Nursing & Midwifery and Sir Charles Gairdner
Hospital, Edith Cowan University, Western Australia
This ground-breaking text book introduces the theoretical
underpinnings and practical considerations of the growing area
reablement. With contributions from a number of professions
including occupational therapy, nursing and social work this book
encourages and supports collaborative working. It also offers
service user, carer and support worker perspectives, in order to
offer a rounded introduction to effective reablement practices.
Reablement Services in Health and Social Care develops the
knowledge and understanding of students in this field on a wide
range of courses - from nursing and occupational therapy to social
work, physiotherapy and beyond. It may also appeal to support staff
and associated professionals already working in reablement services
and associated fields of enquiry.
