        Global Health Research in an Unequal World

        Ethics Case Studies from Africa

        by G Aellah, T Chantler, P W Geissler

        This book is a collection of fictionalised case studies of everyday ethical dilemmas and challenges, encountered in the process of conducting global health research in places where the effects of global, political and economic inequality are particularly evident. It is a training tool to fill the gap between research ethics guidelines, and their implementation 'on the ground'. The case studies, therefore, focus on 'relational' ethics: ethical actions and ideas that emerge through relations with others, rather than in regulations.

        Ethics, law and nursing

        by Nina Fletcher

        An introduction to the ethical and legal dilemmas in nursing practice, this text is designed to provoke the nurse to reflect on the nature of his or her professional obligations and future practice. The authors firstly familiarise the reader with the basic principles of ethical debate and the overall structure of the legal system as it effects nurses. They then address the fundamental dilemmas of nursing practice, such as whether or not paternalism can ever be justified, if patients have the right to die, and what a nurse's response should be to poor professional practice by colleagues. The book aims to enhance the reader's understanding of the issues, and to educate nurses to develop their own skills of reasoning and judgement. ;

        Law and healing

        A history of a stormy marriage

        by Margaret Brazier

        Exploring key aspects in the history of law's engagement with healthcare in England, Law and healing unearths fascinating stories of the fractious relationship between the two, highlighting lessons for medical law and bioethics through a focus on their history. The popular view that the courts and legislators have from time immemorial consistently deferred to medical practitioners is shown to be wrong. The book examines the regulation of healers, the doctor/patient relationship, and law's response to battles for dominance between different sorts of healers. Healthcare in a broader sense than simply medical treatment is addressed. Considering historical perceptions of the human body at all life stages from the womb to the grave, the work identifies themes running through the history of how law responds to the problems generated by understanding of bodies and how science changes popular perceptions and law.

        The Dark Side, Real Life Accounts of an NHS Paramedic

        The Good, the Bad and the Downright Ugly

        by Andy Thompson

        Andy Thompson’s true-to-life, graphic and gripping account of his work as an NHS paramedic in Britain’s A&E emergency Ambulance Service will shock you, sadden you, entertain you, and perhaps inspire you. You’ll smile at some of Andy’s real patient encounters, while others will cause you to wipe a tear. Using official NHS documentation recorded at the time to give precise details of each incident, Andy has held firm to the real-life accounts, even in keeping the dialogue as close as his memory allows to what was really said at the time. It’s as if you’re there next to him, struggling with the effects of adrenaline and fighting to save life. This is a rare work of medical non-fiction delivered in a way that is factual, informative, but at the same time naturally entertaining and moving, written with candour and humour. And if you have ever thought what it takes to become a paramedic - or any other of the specialist vocations - and that you could never achieve it yourself, Andy’s inspiring story of how he went from postman to frontline healthcare professional, fulfilling his dream, will make you think again that anything is possible if you have the desire. Andy says there are no heroics in the book and that he simply did his job, but we are sure The Dark Side will leave you convinced there are true heroes on our streets right here, right now. Saving lives every day, every night and often against all the odds. It might even change your whole perspective on life.

        The Dark Side, Part 2 - Real Life Accounts of an NHS Paramedic

        The Traumatic, the Tragic and the Tearful

        by Andy Thompson

        Following up on his well-received first book, Andy Thompson provides another captivating, thought-provoking and at times intense glimpse into the daily life of a Paramedic working in the UK’s National Health Service. In the style of his first book, Andy recalls each event from the detailed documentation recorded at the time, each account written in a way that puts the reader right there next to him so that you live the events in real-time, hear the dialogue between paramedics, patient, their loved ones and other healthcare professionals as it would have been, and share in Andy’s thought processes during each of the ten very different situations he encounters. The term ‘The Dark Side’ describes the frontline emergency aspect of the Ambulance Service, since paramedics frequently experience sombre situations. In ‘The Dark Side, Part 2’ you will share in some truly traumatic, tragic and tearful events involving a seemingly vibrant, healthy young patient, a prison inmate, the victims of an horrific car crash, heart attacks, a frightening epileptic fit, the alarming effects of an allergic reaction, and what can happen when under-strain doctors prescribe the wrong medication. But there’s still room for lighthearted moments and a taste of the sometimes dark humour that allows paramedics to continually deal with events most of us would find too horrific. The detail in the descriptions of the care given to each patient on-scene by Andy and his colleagues will have you marvelling at the ability of these healthcare professionals to work at such speed of thought, buying enough time to deliver a patient into the specialist hands of hospital care and often full recovery. Of course there are inevitably also those times when tears of hope turn to tears of despair for loved ones. You cannot feel that pain until it happens to you, but this book will bring you mighty close to it at times.

        Older People with Visual Impairment – Clinical Management and Care

        by Susan Watkinson BA, RN, OND (Hons), PGCEA, MSc, PhD

        In the context of an ageing population, visual impairment is having an increasing social and economic impact. This timely book will enable healthcare professionals in a diverse range of settings to enhance their expertise in assessing the ophthalmic conditions of the elderly, adopt a holistic approach to patient care, and improve their ability to deal with organisational challenges involving visually impaired elderly people.   Sue Watkinson and her co-authors have used their broad professional and academic knowledge to analyse issues relating to the major ocular diseases affecting the elderly. These include cataract, age-related macular degeneration, chronic open-angle glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, herpes zoster ophthalmicus and dementia.   In addition to describing the pathogenesis, clinical features and risk factors for each disease, they highlight the role of specialist ophthalmic nurses in informing and educating patients, managing ophthalmic treatment procedures, promoting safe environments and maintaining quality of life for elderly individuals suffering from age-related ophthalmic conditions.   Above all, the authors show that providing the right care for this vulnerable group of people in our society will help reduce the economic and psychological burden of sight loss and re-establish a good quality of life for the older person with visual impairment. Contents include: Introduction: Ageing and the needs of older people Older people with visual impairment: Clinical management and care – an overview Current perspectives on managing older people with cataracts Older people with age-related macular degeneration Older people with chronic open-angle glaucoma Older people with diabetic retinopathy Common external eye disorders in older people The older person with herpes zoster ophthalmicus Managing depression in visually impaired older people Dementia and visually impaired older people

        TRUST ME, I'M THE PATIENT

        Clean Language, Metaphor and the New Psychology of Change

        by Philip Harland

        An essential read for anyone who finds themself counseling, coaching, or working with others. Takes you step by step through a process that lends itself to the most profound therapeutic transformation and yet can be used informally at home, at work, or in the queue for the bus. Science psychology, philosophy, and a vibrating peach are all part of the story in this guide to the far-reaching but readily accessible practice of Clean questioning, a knowledge of which will enable you to enter another person’s world almost unnoticed and once there to tread very, very lightly. And what will happen as a result is that the people you facilitate will get to know, change, and heal themselves. Philip Harland is a Clean Language psychotherapist and author of ‘The Power of Six: A Six Part Guide to Self Knowledge’; ‘How The Brain Feels: working with Emotion and Cognition’; 'Resolving Problem Patterns: with Clean Language and Autogenic Metaphor'; and ‘Possession and Desire: working with Addiction, Compulsion, and Dependency’. www.wayfinderpress.co.uk

        RESOLVING PROBLEM PATTERNS

        with Clean Language and Autogenic Metaphor

        by Philip Harland

        How can problem patterns be discerned, decoded and the information within them released? This guide has five parts: ‘What is as Pattern?’ ‘How Can Patterns be Discerned?’ ‘How Can Problem Patterns be Decoded?’ ‘How Can the Information Within be Released?’ and ‘Then What Happens: the Nature of Change’. At a time when psychoactive drugs are being prescribed more widely than at any time in history, it is more important than ever to educate ourselves about the alternatives. The drug-free resolution of problem patterns of behavior, feeling or belief is as important for health professionals to be able to facilitate as it is for their clients and patients to achieve. This guide has a bias towards the talking therapies – and in particular the radical new art of Clean Language – but its precepts and procedures are applicable to any area of human enquiry. New, more productive, patterns of behaviour, feeling and belief emerge through CleanLanguage modelling as the client identifies component parts of their perceptions, develops these in form, space, or time; elucidates key relationships between them; discerns patterns across the relationships and translates these patterns to their everyday lives. As a result it is the client, not the facilitator, who determines the significance of their perceptions. And as the system learns about its own organization, a context for self-generated change is created and it is the client, not the facilitator, who determines what needs to happen for the system to evolve.  Philip Harland is a Clean Language psychotherapist and author of ‘Trust Me, I’m the Patient: Clean Language, Metaphor and the New Psychology of Change’; ‘The Power of Six: a Six Part Guide to Self Knowledge’; ‘Possession and Desire: understanding and working with addiction, compulsion and dependency’; and ‘How the Brain Feels: working with emotion and cognition’; all published by Wayfinder Press, London England.

        A Guide for Healthcare Practitioners

        by Sue Timmins

        Every patient, whatever their cultural background and religious affiliation, is entitled to receive healthcare that is sensitive, appropriate and person- centred. In the UK today, there are people from many different minority groups. There are also members of the host population who follow religions other than Christianity, either from birth or personal choice. The patient’s chosen or birth faith should always play an integral part in their care. This helpful guide enables healthcare practitioners to rise to the challenge of providing culturally sensitive services by giving them an understanding of patients’ varying potential requirements and how to meet them.

        Poems and Commentaries of Leading Nurse-Poets

        by Judy Scaefer (author)

        “The fourteen major nurse poets here, born in different geographical locations and with different clinical backgrounds, have been poets since childhood. They all carry journals or bits of paper in their pockets, always ready to have-a-say about what they witness in their work or in their private lives. . . .We pass the baton, shift to shift and generation to generation. I pass the baton to the poets here and to all the others represented by this band of bards.”— from the IntroductionSo much written about literature and medicine has been from the perspective of physicians. But in the last few years nurses have found their voices and are making important contributions to the field of biomedical and nursing humanities. These men and women professionals see different things and experience patients and health care issues in different contexts.Judy Schaefer has compiled this anthology of contemporary nurse-poets’ work, which is accompanied by their commentaries about their poetry, their work, and their lives. She has gathered contributions from some of the best-known nurse-poets as well as from those who deserve to be. The Poetry of Nursing will add significantly to the ever-growing body of literature that connects medicine, nursing, and the humanities.

        Country Doctor Revisited

        A Twenty-First Century Reader

        by Therese Zink (author)

        Over the past thirty years, rural health care in the United States has changed dramatically. The stereotypical white-haired doctor with his black bag of instruments and his predominantly white, small-town clientele has imploded: the global age has reached rural America. Independently owned clinics have given way to a massive system of hospitals; new technology now brings specialists right to the patient’s bedside; and an increasingly diverse clientele has sparked the need for doctors and nurses with an equally diverse assortment of skills.The Country Doctor Revisited is a fascinating collection of essays, poems, and short stories written by rural health care professionals on the experiences of doctors and nurses practicing medicine in rural environments, such as farms, reservations, and migrant camps. The pieces explore the benefits and burdens of new technology, the dilemmas in making ethically sound decisions, and the trials of caring for patients in a broken system. Alternately compelling, thought provoking, and moving, they speak of the diversity of rural health care providers, the range of patients served in rural communities, the variety of settings that comprise the rural United States, and the resources and challenges health care providers and patients face today.“In this collection we hear the voices of men and women who provide care and facilitate healing in modern rural settings. . . . These storytellers, essayists, and poets live in small towns across the rural United States. They marvel, grumble, cry, grapple and meditate on the beauty and challenges they encounter in their healing practices.” —from the Introduction
