Appreciative healthcare practice : a guide to compassionate, person-centred care [E-Book] - Keswick : M & K Update Ltd, 2015. - 1 online resource (xx, 125 pages) : illustrations

Written by a leading healthcare academic and an accredited international business coach, this book takes a new approach to one of the most crucial issues in healthcare - how to care for patients appreciatively, responsively and compassionately. In the light of the findings of the Francis Report (2013), and at a time when healthcare services are under enormous pressure, there is a clear and urgent need for such a book. Despite the challenges of ill health, the authors demonstrate that the opportunity is there for any healthcare practitioner to draw out what the patient needs and desires.
