woman graduate of the University of Alaska, and marrying noted
biologist Olaus J. Murie. So begins her lifelong journey in Alaska

Views from all three main political parties, Labour, Conservative
and Liberal Democrats, about their future vision for the NHS and
chapters from top NHS professionals, experts at the forefront of
their specialty, assist the reader to penetrate the fog of
confusion about how to make future plans for the NHS. The book
seeks, by bringing eminent experts together from centrally relevant
disciplines with a wide range of perspectives, to set out views
clearly and readably; to enable the general reader (whether
professional or lay person) to better understand the cardinal
questions involved in this NHS debate. The early chapters in the
book express the views of leading members from all three main
political parties, Labour, Conservative and Liberal Democrats, to
offer constructive comments about what options they see for the
future vision of the NHS. The book continues with chapters from top
NHS professionals, experts at the forefront of their specialty, who
collectively bring centuries of experience. Their wealth of
knowledge is unrivalled, admired and invaluable; they are the
leading authorities across a broad range of specialties. These
chapters discuss how they see the future of their area of
expertise, not to apportion blame, but to have a vision, aiming
towards improvement. The chapters then proceed to discuss how the
NHS is managed, trained, regulated and funded. After explaining how
the current funding system works the book progresses onto thinking
of alternative and innovative methods of tackling the complex
financial issues. The book brings a multidisciplinary, eminent
expert team together, with a wide range of perspectives, to set out
views clearly and understandably; to enable the general reader
(whether lay person or professional) to comprehend better the
cardinal questions involved in this NHS debate. It is imperative
for every person to be involved in the debate, as it is not just
for the 'experts' in the disciplines concerned, but for everyone -
doctors, nurses and patients, lawyers and clients, legislators and
voters, young and old, - because the debate crosses every age group
and every social divide. Each one of us has a right to contribute
to the debate, not least because, how we as a society answer the
questions raised about the NHS, will ineluctably have a profound
effect on the very nature of society as we know it. This book
allows views regarding the NHS debate, to be informed rather than
ignorant, rational rather than emotional, and to evaluate competing
arguments and various ideas. The Future of the NHS enables the
reader to take the first step into the most exciting debate of our
times.

Beneath the surface we are all connected . . . 'An authentically
soothing, powerful, thought-provoker.' MATT HAIG 'On Connection is
medicine for these wounded times.' MAX PORTER 'On Connection came
to me when I needed it most, and reminded me that the links we have
to places, people, words, ourselves, are what keep us alive.'

relationship to our true selves, and to others and the world we
live in. Honest, hopeful and written with piercing clarity, On

the way you see the world. 'Persuasive and profound.' OBSERVER

of workforce issues, diverse populations, and regional/rural/remote
practice on supervision. Offering career-span advice and a process
of self- and professional development to work through, this book
provides a way to scaffold and support supervisors' and
supervisees' learning and practice of supervision throughout
working life. It is an essential guide for all occupational
therapists. The eResources for this book are available at
