Description
This book is a collection of essays on various aspects of primary care ethics. The essays are written by various experts in the field, and are aimed at providing a more comprehensive overview of the topic. The book is divided into six sections, each of which covers a different topic related to primary care ethics. The book is dense and academic, but is still accessible to practitioners. The essays are divided into themes, and each theme is followed by several essays that focus on specific aspects of that theme. The book is well-organized and provides a comprehensive overview of the topic.
This work contains a foreword by Roger Higgs, Professor Emeritus, King's College, University of London. Relevant for the entire primary care team, this book provides a diverse range of perspectives on current topical issues. Healthcare ethics is a subject of increasing interest, especially when it related to some of the challenging themes regularly discussed in the media. Until now there has been little useful literature for those in primary care, where ethical problems are often experienced with a unique set of issues. "Primary Care Ethics" is rigorous and academic, while remaining highly accessible for the full range of practitioners. Moral and legal aspects are clearly distinguished throughout, and the theme-based approach is stimulating and original. In providing greater depth and breadth in this subject than has been available previously, the book is both practical and thought-provoking, and essential reading for everyone, whether in academic, training or practice-based primary care. "Issues of blame, complexity, choice, rights, care, competence, boundaries, motivation, working together - all these and many other concepts frame and form the work of primary care. Whether you are young and just starting, facing an exam, bored and not sure why, distressed, euphoric or just plain overworked, you should read what these experienced writers say." Roger Higgs, in the Foreword.
