About this ebook
Written by a leading healthcare academic and an accredited international business coach, this book takes a new approach to one of the most crucial issues in healthcare – how to care for patients appreciatively, responsively and compassionately. In the light of the findings of the Francis Report (2013), and at a time when healthcare services are under enormous pressure, there is a clear and urgent need for such a book.
Despite the challenges of ill health, the authors demonstrate that the opportunity is there for any healthcare practitioner to draw out what the patient needs and desires, in line with the patient’s own values, purposes and beliefs. This approach seeks to alleviate suffering and allows the patient to be more empowered and motivated to change, discovering choice and possibility in times of adversity. In this way, the practitioner can help the patient increase their own resilience and resourcefulness. At the same time, the practitioner discovers their own ability to self-care and self-manage.
Aimed at healthcare students and practitioners at all levels, Appreciative Healthcare Practice will provide a valuable and supportive learning resource for a wide range of individuals involved in caring.
Contents include:
Introduction
Carers’ stories
Compassionate and dignified care
Professionalism – on becoming a professional
Applying appreciative inquiry in practice and education
Creativity and care
Applying the three-eye model to healthcare
Mindful healthcare practice
The appreciative care worker and coach
Dr Gwilym Wyn Roberts, Senior Lecturer, Cardiff University
Dr Andrew Machon, Accredited Executive Business Coach
