Ofta tar personalen för givet att vården är personcentrerad, men patienter och närstående vittnar om förhållningssätt och arbetssätt som kan ses som det motsatta. För att vården på allvar ska bli personcentrerad krävs genomgripande omställningar och denna bok handlar om sådant omställningsarbete.Här presenteras ett ramverk för personcentrerade arbetssätt som i sin tur bygger på det ramverk för personcentrerad omvårdnad som McCormack m.fl. tidigare publicerat. Boken kompletterar svensk forskning genom sitt tydliga fokus på de förhållnings- och arbetssätt som krävs av personal och ledare så att organisationer kan skapa en personcentrerad arbetsplatskultur för multiprofessionella team.Den svenska utgåvan har sakkunniggranskats och kompletterats för svenska förhållanden av Joakim Öhlén, föreståndare för Centrum för personcentrerad vård (GPCC) vid Göteborgs universitet.Boken kan med fördel användas inom samtliga hälso- och sjukvårdsutbildningar på såväl grundnivå som avancerad nivå, samt av redan yrkesverksamma.

Society is rapidly changing its expectations of professionals in all arenas. In this book we focus on changing patterns of professional practice in health, education and the creative arts. In each of these areas professional practice care is undergoing major reform in a complex and rapidly changing environment. This multi-authored text explores professional practice in four key dimensions: doing, knowing, being and becoming. These concepts have been chosen to represent professional practice as much more than applying learned knowledge in practice situations. The authors present professional practice as a lived and dynamic experience as well as a process, a service for (and with) others, and a way of being and behaving. The text explores the essential unity of knowledge and practice, through discourse, narrative, imagery and critical debate.This is a book for all those seeking to learn and to improve practice.

It provides the reader with a contemporary review examining the notion of practice knowledge gained from professional experience and its relationship to professional practice expertise.It is divided into four sections: the first broadly examines the nature and forms of knowledge and the relationships between knowledge and practice; the second considers the nature of professional expertise; the third explores these principles in action and the fourth looks at future developments.An essential purchase for all students, educators, researchers and practitioners of physiotherapy, occupational therapy, nursing and indeed all those in the health sciences field.An essential purchase for all students, educators, researchers and practitioners of physiotherapy, occupational therapy, nursing and indeed all those in the health sciences field.
