I found the chapters to be too brief to be of use for undergraduate teaching
This books offers teachers an opportunity to present a solid base of knowledge form which all levels of Health and Social care can be taught and understood. Covering theorists, A vast array of case studies throughout this book provides numerous opportunities to continually link theory to practice in the form of discussion, independent study tasks or classroom activities.
A hard text book to readn and digest at Level 4 - will support the Level 5 HND programme better
This is a very useful book that will help HNC Health and Social care students to contextualise the issues discussed
This is an essential reader not only for the working with carers module, but the health and social care course as a whole. It might, however, benefit from some updates to draw on more recent research.
Excellent book as a reader . Recommended for level 4 Health and Social care.Contains key elements of the HND.
A fab book, exciting and innovative ideas
Useful as a supplement to core texts, for students wishing to gain further background knowledge on health and social care. A recommendation for students studying health and social care for the first time at HE level.
More suitable for level 4 and degree students than college students.
This book gives good background information for planning courses. I found this book gave me good knowledge to pass onto students.
A book ideal for supplementary reading
This book is published as an introductory reader? Students will need to be familiar with academic writing and the workplace environment to be able to utilise the information therein. There are sections of the book we will refer our students to and make reference in our teaching: chapter 6 on the carers viewpoint and section 3 - approaches, containing chapters 16-23. This information will be utilised within various courses offered within the Foundation degree in Health and Social care as well as in my level 5 module - Expansion of Practice
A valuable resource that will be recommened for purchase in the library
Covers key issues in health and social care with a valuable focus on service user voices. A useful text for programmes that link theory and social care practice.
This is a very useful book, easy to read and understand. I have recommended it to the students particularly the chapter on nursing homes. I have also suggested we have it in the library.
This is a useful textbook outlining the main points within helathcare today. It is well set out with current ideas expressed through the chapters.
I have no objection to you using my words but would want them to be credited to me and my institution please.
There areseveral chapters in this book that are well worth a read and I will be recommending it to some of my students. The NHS is currently undergoing change and until we know the direction it is going in it is hard to recommend this text as essential reading but I will happily use the relevant chapters to inform students.
