Concise and well recommended as a quick guide
A really succinct introduction to many of the current key debates in health and social care. Fantastic resource for year 1 students.
This book offers a concise outlook to key terms and concept in health studies. It is a good start for undergraduate students and interdisciplinary health practitioners, who can also benefit from the reference lists for more in depth reading.
A good comprehensive resource
This is an excellent book, that is easy to read and informative over a number of topics. I found that the students that had read this book produced much better pieces of work for thier assessments and so I am now classifying this as essential for the same course next year.
Excellent book providing a snapshot of the social, political, cultural processes that influence health and how healthcare is perceived and delivered. An excellent reference for undergraduate students trying to disintangle the practice of nursing within a biomedical model of care
Accessible, succinct, and comprehensive collection of important information for any health promotion course.
A solid fundamental text; direct and to the point
It is a very complete overview of the key concepts. It allows the student to focus on the main topics and themes, get the essentials and then go on to look for more specialised/detailed reading if required.
Very useful indeed. Have requested purchases for the library
This book covers the key concepts in health studies well. It will be a good start for students in their undergraduate degree. Students will develop a good initial understanding of health using this book.
Gives a very good quick over view of a range of topics, covers the most salient issues, and signposts issues to look at in more detail. Good starting point for students to carry out more research.
Interesting to look through but does not have high relevance for module.
