Long-Term Conditions
Challenges in Health & Social Care
- Cathy E Lloyd - The Open University
- Tom Heller - The Open University
The perspectives of each of these groups are voiced within this book, with chapters written by people who use health and social care services, careers, policy-makers and practitioners.
Using a variety of research methods to get to the heart of the matter, the book probes assumptions about the experience of long-term poor health and what constitutes good care. Its aim is to challenge readers to think critically about existing policy and provision and to inspire change based on sound evidence and a drive towards greater multi-professional working.
Long-Term Conditions provides academics, practitioners and students with a thorough grounding in the complex issues surrounding the experience and management of long-term illness. It is an ideal text for courses on policy, management and practice in health and social care.
This book is a welcome addition to the literature available on Long Term Conditions
A useful resource which links the challenges of policy implementation with the experience of those living with long term conditions. Very insightful in places.
Good introduction - was realy interested in dementia side but found useful as extra reading for chemotherapy course
A good book that highlights how to manage long term conditions and gives the reader a better understanding of how to provide support.
once the students opened this book they were able to compete work without asking for advice all of the time. the level of study matched the book.
A very current look at the issues regarding the management of long term conditions. Easy to read text that allows the reader to read specific topics of interest.
Shared with a service user who was particularly pleased to see a chapter on issues associated with Coeliac disease.
I liked this and found it most helpful in providing different perspectives on LTC's, which is essential if to provide effective care. My students come from very diverse areas and for those working with LTC's I will be strongly recommending this to them. It is succinct, utilises current explicit evidence base and encourages them to critically reflect on the policy impacts - all of which I encourage throughout my programme. Thank you.
This book will encourage students to take a different approach to long term conditions. This book considers the challenges from all perspectives of health and social care.
