Book in preparation
Bournemouth University Staff and partners in practice are preparing a book which considers the value of the humanising framework for improving the care of people in a number of different practice settings.
Hemingway, A & Scammell, J (Eds). Humanising Health Care: A Guide to Practice
The book aims to provide an educational resource for undergraduate heath profession students that focus upon humanising health care. It will elaborate on the nature of care and evidence for care, placing a prime focus upon the person’s experience of care and care giving. The book will be relevant for students of nursing, midwifery and the allied health care professions. This book will be primarily aimed at a UK market but will be relevant to international students as the underpinning philosophy has emerged from international philosophers in Northern Europe where there is a well-established caring science discipline focused on these issues. The issue of the lack of humane care provision within target driven health care in Europe and North America is a tension within many countries.
The range and scope of the book is indicated in the following chapter headings:
Introduction: The eight dimensions of the humanisation framework: Caroline Ellis-Hill, Ann Hemingway
A Critique of patient centred care: Vanessa Heaslip, Karen Cooper, Sue Baron
Insiderness/Objectification: working with people with dementia: Janet Scammell, Geraldine King
