Description
change are suggested. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The aim of this book is to highlight
and explore key issues in the field of learning difficulties which have been neglected during recent changes in NHS
community services.
It will be of great relevance for all practitioners and students who wish to improve the care they offer to their clients. Four main
sections cover changes to people's daily lives, changes in practice, changing issues and changing
strategies. Specialists present
an authorative review of current thinking and research and, drawing on their experience of leading edge projects; suggest where there
may be practical opportunities for professionals to take action. * Challenges
professionals to learn from, and develop their practice
* Discusses topics of key concern, e.g. medication, housing, employment, equal opportunities * Offers a policy perspective * Demonstrates
the implications of reforms and constraints for the NHS and
community care 'Fantastic, superb and monumental are words that sprang
to mind when I first read 'Values & Visions'. In a short review it is almost impossible to give full credit to 'Values & Visions. It
is a 'must buy' not only for those working in
services for people with learning disabilities, but for all those working in 'human
services'.' - Nursing Times, September 1995 'This excellent book is devided into four parts: changing lives, changing practice, changing
issues and changing strategies.
The book is essential reading for all professionals and the editors should be proud of their final
product.' - Practice Nurse Journal, January 1996 'This book is a worthy successor to previous writings on these themes. Perhaps here
is also an agenda for
a new government.' - Community Care, November 1995
