Values and Ethics for Care Practice

‘This is a valuable text which encourages students to examine their personal values at a time when they are developing professional values and identity. I think students will revisit this text throughout their programme. It is a complex theoretical concept which is interwoven with health care practice in a way that students can grasp. I particularly like the activities and reflections.’
Lecturer, University of Plymouth

‘An accessible book for all students especially pre-registration students. A well organised book with lots of very useful activities that can be carried out in class or on one’s own. A very useful resource when delivering classes looking at ethical issues in the health care environment.’
Lecturer, University of the West of England

‘The book is well written in terms that are understandable to a range of practitioners at differing levels and focuses on core values. The use of reflection and exercises helps the student (and the lecturer) contextualise the sometimes abstract into reality and practice.’
Lecturer, Bangor University

‘I really liked this book – the layout, exercises, etc are useful and provide students with opportunities to expand knowledge base and reflect upon what they have read in relation to practice. The concepts covered are essential for clinical practice and in particular autonomy, independence, respect, trust are key themes for the module I run for pre-registration nursing (client focussed care). Overall the text is coherent, well written and well referenced. Students will like it as it is easy to understand yet nevertheless sufficiently academic.’
Senior Lecturer, De Montfort University
