Reviews

“A timely book which argues that relationship based care is more important than ever at a time when health care is increasingly fragmented, taskified, deprofessionalised and digitised.” --Professor Trisha Greenhalgh, University of Oxford “An inspiring collection of essays that eloquently diagnoses the dis-ease afflicting contemporary healthcare. And 'Finding Meaning in Healthcare' goes beyond diagnosis to offer us the cure - an elegant framework which, applied to every consultation and clinical encounter, will transform the experience of both patients and the practitioners who care for them. Essential reading for anyone who has even an inkling that, for all the spectacular advances of medicine in the scientific era, the practice of healthcare has grievously lost its way.” --Dr Phil Whitaker, Medical Editor, New Statesman, and author of 'What Is a Doctor? - A GP's Prescription for the Future' “Much of general practice and primary care seems to be drowning in anxiety and despondency both for patients and professionals. This book provides some much-needed life rafts!” --Dr Iona Heath, Past President Royal College of General Practitioners.
