This much needed textbook brings together a range of new perspectives on ethics that truly reflect the lived experience and interests of those who work in healthcare. Going beyond the traditional approach which focuses on professional interests, it incorporates morally problematic issues from the interpersonal, organisational, policy, resourcing, and political arenas. Rather than describing abstract ideas and applying them to situations, this authoritative new book uses the everyday situations that occur in health and care as its starting point to examine how we can better understand the moral implications of these to improve practice, relationships and decisions making.

Ethics from the Ground Up encourages students and practitioners to connect and apply theoretical concepts -such as law, procedures and guidance - alongside their own understanding of ethics by:

·         Employing a reflective practice approach to learning

·         Introducing a wide selection of multidisciplinary topics relevant to the field

·         Exploring ethics by examining common scenarios in everyday practice and reflects on their moral implications

·         Emphasising the importance of contemporary analysis for an effective understanding of the subject matter.

 

With the contribution of international professionals coming from a range of backgrounds, the interdisciplinary nature of this book applies modern practice to enable a clear and faithful understanding of health and care services in a variety of contexts.
