The book acknowledges it is an introduction to the subject which it is. It is sadly already out of date with the current NHS structures, and organisational changes. I would suggest the current edition of the book (with updating of NHS organisational changes) is highly suitable and could be beneficially marketed for the non registration/graduate health and social care workers ie. HCSW′s etc. Enhancing the depth of critical thinking in the activities within future editions would assist graduates and post registration students. — Dr Julie Cullen ― drupal Published On: 2014-01-06
