9781856422079: Participation and Empowerment

Synopsis

There is an uncritical assumption in the arena of health care, that empowerment and service user participation is a good thing, that they lead to health improvement, and to patients being healthier. The words have become almost a clichà ©, and virtually obligatory when identifying the benchmarks of a quality service. This book, and its companion volume, Empowerment and the Health Service User, contribute new ideas and provide fresh understanding about ways to make empowerment and participation happen. The contributors have a depth of personal and professional experience, and offer a vast array of opinion on how to implement effectively strategies to increase the empowerment and participation for service users and carers.
